I'm having surgery on a Friday. I will only have ten days off (maximum). I have a seated/secretarial job. Did anybody feel they needed more than this?

I'm not telling my boss about surgery. The idiot has no filter between mouth/brain and I can't stand him. So, I"m taking all my vacation for this. Not my first choice but even though I don't have tell why i'm taking sick leave, as long as i have a doctors note, he will ask. He's an attorney and should know better.

I felt bloated for the first few days but walking immediately after surgery helped me. I went back to work within 4 days and was fine. I was a little tired by the end of the day. As long as you sip all day and walk around some you'll be fine.
