How long did you take of work?

My surgery was on a Friday, so I took that day off, of course. :lol

On Monday and Tuesday, I worked from home. I wanted to stay close in case I needed to lie down and rest or whatever. It was fine, though - in retrospect, I know I would have been fine going to the office. (My job is a desk one - very sedentary.)

I did go back to the office on Wednesday.

So in total, I missed one day of work, the day of surgery. But I worked remotely (and am very lucky to have the option of doing that with my job) for two additional days.

I am taking the entire 6 weeks. My job duties requires me of being able to lift 40 lbs, and pushing heavy carts, etc. Since I was using FMLA, my company requires a return to work note with no restrictions. Since my surgeon has a restriction of lifting no more than 10 lbs for 6 weeks... well here I am! We don't have light duty or anything unless you get hurt on the job, so I am taking my mini-vacation courtesy of Short Term Disability!

I was banded on Friday, May 1st and went back to work that following Monday. I have a desk job but I do a lot of walking. Truthfully I probably should have taken at least that Monday off too but I think it helped me with the gas problem that is fairly common. :smile:
