Time off post op

[Justajenn 65]

I had my surgery on a Friday and returned back to work on Wednesday. I'm a RN a work 12+ hour shifts in a hospital. Did two in a row and the girls I work with were great and did any lifting that was needed for me. No problem at all.

I took 3 weeks off, but could have gone back after one. I had family down during that time and decided it would be better spent with them and taking it easy

1 week was more than enough. I have a desk job though

2 weeks and I have a desk job.

I took one week off but I now wish I would have planned to take 2 weeks.

I planned on only taking one week but added 2 extra days because I was still tired. Going back tomorrow

I've planned two weeks (my surgery is this Sunday) but work are very flexible and my boss has said I should take whatever time I need.

My only worry is that I have a work trip to Brussels the week I get back - early morning train, full day of meetings, overnight stay, another full day of meetings and late train back the following day. I'm a bit worried about how I'll handle it - it will be about 2 1/2 weeks post surgery.

If that does get cancelled, and it might, I may ask to work from home for the third week.
