Time off work ?

I am anxious to hear the different time frames to get back to work.

I'm a social worker, not hard work and get to move around a lot.

I don't have a lot of vacation time and would like to get a idea of what to expect. Thanks

    My surgeon recommended two weeks off and I couldn't have gone back much earlier. I'm a desk jockey.

    I had the procedure on a Friday and went back to work the following Tuesday. I work behind a computer....so not a lot of physical exertion.

    It will really depend upon how you feel.

    Yes....I'm going to say it....you can't stop me....."Everyone is different." :-)
