time off of work...

[outkast]

5 or 6 days...thats all the time i can get off of work...u guys think i should be good..my job doesnt require heavy labor but i move alot(walking around here and there).  I got alot of tolerence for pain, dont know if it helps or not..i need to get it done the first week or April when spring break comes...If everything works out in the end..I hope..

In my experience, most post op patients can return to sedentary type of work (or school) within 3 days or so after surgery.  That means desk work, on the computer, sitting in class, etc. 

I would strongly advise against return to heavy, labor-intensive jobs for a minimum of 2-3 weeks after this type of surgery.

Good luck!

5-6 days should be totally fine. You won't be totally comfortable yet, but it should be more than bearable.
