How long do you plan to take off work after surgery?

[hopefulvspgirl 35]

My surgery is a Monday and I have the entire week off but have offered to WFM Thursday & Friday. I have a low stress office job so I don't think going back to work will be an issue.

I mostly took so little time off for my mental health. I have taken longer time off before and go stir crazy being at home by myself for long periods of time.

@@NikkiRT you do have a say. Just tell your doc you don't feel quite comfortable going back to work just yet and need a little more time. I'm sure he wouldn't deny you. But you have to give the new date to your STD group so they can extend your time off ????

I'm thinking of taking 2 weeks. I have a friend who went back after a week and she's doing great, but I'd like a little more time to heal.

I was thinking of taking 4 weeks off but may do the full 6 weeks off. I work with young toddlers and we are constantly moving,lifting and bending. They recommend not lifting anything over 10 pounds for the first 6 weeks and I know myself well enough to know that if a child needs comfort or is injured my first reaction would be to assist. I'm not sure if IIA over thinking it or not.
