Hi there, i took 2 weeks off as i had an uplift and implant! but i have to say after 5-7 days i would have felt fine to sit at my desk at work!.
the 2d day after the op is the worst, you feel like somebody is sat on your chest crushing it, but days after that it gets easier, It hurts more in the night and in a morning, you feel so stiff, and by the afternoon very tired and sleepy. So if you are going back to work after this period then just sit at your desk and dont do much! get other people to open filing cabinets for you etc, and lift things for you, as you wont be able to that your self.
But going back to work after 2-3 days would be very hard! you wil siffer loads, as you can hardly move, its not that bad the pain but your body feels tired and a big battered, and you have very bad bruising! why dont you just ring in sick! and tell work you feel ok to come in and the op went fine, but you have caught a sickness bug?? cos that happned with me, just as i was feeling ok, i got a sickness bug!!????? you could try that?? soz if this doesnt help XXXXX
