  1. Hi Tully,

    Just a quick question how long did it take you to recover to go back to working? I am looking to do the same surgery as you but i am not to sure how long I will need to ask off. I do office work and can work from home. Would 2 weeks be sufficient?

    Thanks

    1. I took 4 weeks off work, but I did start working from home a week out from surgery (not much, just an hour a day). If you can work from home it would make all the difference. Good luck, let me know how you go! :-)
