Thanks! I’ve heard of people taking 3 weeks off and didn’t know if that was standard or not. Thank you!

I had surgery on a Tuesday and was back to work on Monday.

I had some serious fatigue when I did return to work and took frequent breaks, one of which I actually fell asleep. So, be prepared that your energy might be low if you return to work after only 1 week. It's possible, but if I had to do it again, I'd take 2 weeks.

I work from home, so I technically took no time off at all. But if I had to go into an office for a desk job, a week would have been plenty of time, for me.

I suspected the fatigue, I just wouldn’t want to do anything to interfere with the healing process. Thanks everyone!
