I know that everyone's case is different. But, on average, how long should I stay out of work? I work in a group home with 6 mentally, physically, and behaviorally challenged individuals.

I do work latenights, so they are asleep most of the time. I also help them out in the morning with getting ready for day programs. (Bathing, medications, Breakfast, etc).

I also do this work and as long as your not lifting or doing extended bending over you can probably go back in like four days. I know i could have but i took my whole week cause i could not cause i needed to.

I had my surgery friday at 5pm and i felt fine physically today, my incisions feel great... they have me on a liquid diet like most... im only allowed 59 calories a day for 7 days -

Breakfast- 3T - Protein Drink, 3T- broth, 3T of Jello

Lunch- 3T - Protein Drink, 3T- Broth, 3T of Jello

Dinner- 3T - Protein Drink, 3T- Broth, 3T of Jello

So i have to say i feel really weak... total lack of energy... but my healing is awesome and body feels great... just kind of out of it...
