How Long Were You Out Of Work

Hi all,

Just spoke with someone at the surgeons office who advised 8 days was all that was needed. I was quite confused as I have read some of you on the board take up to 5 weeks off of work!

I have a desk job but I am never at my desk. My office has an adjacent warehouse. I get in at 9:00am and my warehouse guys are calling me to come back there at 9:02am. I am back and forth checking shipments and doing physical inventory everyday. My commute is an hour drive each way.

And only one of my coworkers will know what kind of procedure Im really having.

So two questions folks:

How long did it take for you to actually feel up to working 9-5 again? And what were some of the excuses you gave for needing surgery?
