How much time off from work?

I am a wound care nurse and work in home health. So my job involves a lot of bending and stooping and jumping in and out of my car but luckily not much heavy lifting. The problem is I am 1099 so I dont get paid time off out vacation. I could probably take 2 weeks off before I start to panic. I have money in savings but hate touching it. How much time did you guys need to take off?

I plan to use short term disability, and use as much time off as my Dr's will allow!
