Hello -

I initially was going to take 1 week but found I needed more time - I had surg on a Wed and didn't return to work 1 1/2 weeks basically. Everyone heals at their own pace - some much quicker than others - so it is hard to really say. Maybe prepare your boss for the worst case scenario and then if you feel better soomer, go back. I was low on energy the first week.
