Like to know how long are you guys off from work, I work in a food factory and my job is central lab tech because it look like some are off a few weeks, I thought I would only be off work a couple of weeks. What do the doctors request for you taking work time spam

I am going to shoot for a week off as well. I am an IT manager who sits at my desk on teleconference calls several hours a day and have free access and time to drink all day if I choose, as well as not having to do anything physical. I am generally pretty good with pain (back to work after 2-3 days with 3 fully broken ribs in 2008) so I am hoping I can survive this while at work.

I would hate to have to be out 2-3 weeks!
