How soon can I return to work after LSH?

ok so now I am worried!, I was told that I would only need to be out 2weeks and could return to work as a nurse at a hospital with no restrictions at all. should I be re-thinking the 2 weeks??? My surgery is a LSH on 12/20/07

Thanks

You will probably be fine. I was back on Day 10 (I'm a teacher, so a lot of standing/walking, but no lifting). I was cleared for everything at the 2 week mark. Just listen to your body. I did go home at midday on my first two days back. Just a thought.
Best of luck

thanks Klgm! that really helps, everyone I work with says I should not be surprised if I need a little bit longer. I think I am just getting anxious with it getting closer. You would think that being a nurse would make me less anxious, but it is a little different being on the other side of the fence!

its so hard to plan things like this in advance when you just dont know how fast you'll heal. i was able to go to work after a few days but i had absolutely no pain and no problems...and i wasnt on my feet and didnt lift anything. i was cleared for everything except heavy lifting at 2 weeks. hopefully you will be able to go back after two weeks but if you need to, take longer. i hope everything goes smoothly for you.
