average number of days off work

Postby newbie1 » Sat Sep 09, 2017 5:25 am

For those of you who were still working when you had the implants, on average how many days did you take off before returning to work (please mention the type of work, e.g. office, works that involve walking around, physical work etc) after implantation?

Office job, off work for 2 weeks and a day. Surgery was on a Friday and return would have been on Labor Day so I added one more day to the time between revision surgery and work.

Time off was dictated by doctor's conservative estimate and my companies time off for illness policies.
