I had 10 days off; definitely needed at least 7 full days to rest/recover ~ good luck

I own my business and am fortunate to take 9 WEEKS off after surgery (way overkill, but that's just how it worked out). I was miserable for the first four or five days after surgery but I could have gone back to most any job after ten days.

Went back on day 5. First day was rough but it's been okay since. I have a a lot of help though and only work 4-5 hours at a time.

I had my surgery December 17 (Monday) and I feel great I'm going in today to do some work (desk job) but I'm not going to over do it.

Hello I'm new to this forum, I had surgery on the 18th and I'm taking two weeks off so I can get adjusted to everything.
