    I had my surgery on a Wednesday, I arrived back home Sunday about noon. Went to work Monday and Tuesday, took Wednesday off, then worked Thursday and Friday. I teach high school and was able to sit often, avoid lifting anything heavier than my purse, but I was wiped out when I got home from school. I have heard people who must be on their feet and lifting things waited two to four weeks to return to work. I didn't gave that many sick days left, so I really didn't have a choice. It has been ten months since my surgery and I feel SO much better, more stamina, no aching feet, love how much better I look in my smaller clothes. This is one of the best things I have done for myself!

    I had my surgery on the 19th. I'm going back to work on the 28th. I think we all just have to remember to take brakes and walk. Walking helps so much. I'm lucky because I own. The. Business and because it's so far away, 50 miles, the I have a back office I made into a bedroom last year. I have to drive over the mountains every day, and sometime because it's 2 lanes, winter closes the road a lot. So I'm lucky because I can nap or stay the night if I feel tired or am stuck. Good luck back at work, just remember to walk..
    Take care,

    I took off two weeks after surgery and I'm glad I did. Everyone is different though.....
