How many days off work ?

[Amelie2016 116]

I've been sleeping finally, not home even 24 hours yet ... my schedule is waaaay off. I didn't sleep well in the hospital. Just woke up again. It's 2:30pm here. Readjusting will take ME a while, lol.

Hope you can rest.

At 66 I was shopping four days after surgery, slowly walking the mall. Never needed pain meds after surgery, once I left the hospital. I know I was afraid of how I would feel, but it was wonderful!!! Much better than anticipated.

I work on an orthopedic floor of a level one trauma hospital where there is super heavy lifting so my doctor said I would definitely have to be off work for six weeks. Got enough pto to cover it, so I'm going to take all six weeks happily.

I only needed a week off. (I wish I had taken longer because I commute from NJ to New York City... so that commute is what really took a toll on me...) but besides the commute I felt pretty okay at the office. I'm a receptionist so it's mostly desk work.

I decided not to tell my employer that I am having surgery because I did not want to be subjected to judgement. I know that in time everyone will figure it out. I did not want the added stress prior to having the procedure done. I am going to take off 2 weeks
