When you're ready, you'll be ready. And you still have another 4 full weeks ahead of you.
Some of the people who had very long or continuing recoveries may want to share.
I know you're out there.  |
As I've stated in other threads... I stayed out for 8 weeks.
And I felt I went back a little early but I had to do it .... $$$
Never the less, 3 weeks later things ARE getting easier.
I would strongly consider seeing if you can change your hours when going back at first.. If not part time, maybe the hours themselves.
Luckily, I can switch from a 9-5 to a 7-3 on a whim GENERALLY speaking.
And that has done wonders for making it an easier transition.
That would be my biggest suggestion at the moment.. You never know if you can unless you ask, right?
. Being in the Disability Insurance industry I know that for light to sedentary work 4-6 weeks is the expected time out of work after the surgery. For medium jobs it goes more to 8-12 weeks, for heavy to very heavy jobs it can be an indefinite duration. My leave will be determined by the medical necessity as determined by the Short Term Disability (STD) Claim Examiner. Anything more than 4-6 weeks will require extensive documentation from my physician. I am currently in Sales in Insurance so my job would be considered Light. 
and you are not dealing with an STD claim, you and your physician have more of a say in the 'approved duration'
