I am taking 6 vacation days. I fly out on a Sunday, have surgery on Monday, Monday night in the hospital, then two nights at hotel and fly back on Thu. So I took the entire surgery week off plus the following Monday. Hopefully that is enough time off.

I don't expect I'd be in pain, but I hope I don't have any other issues or feel too weak..
I don't do any heaving lifting at work. It's a desk job mainly.

I took one week off as well... I figured if I need more, I can have the Doctor write a note, but I am expecting to be ok after 7 days. I have a desk job.
