Hi Lucy, I work as a TA aswell. I booked my surgery for the 3rd of April as we are breaking up on the 2nd of April. Its my first surgery ever so I dont know how my body is going to heal so I wanted to make sure that I have atleast 2 weeks off after my surgery to heal properly. I personally think you sould have atleast 10 days off work after your surgery. I know working with 3 and 4 year old can be quite physical and tiring. See if you can move it to the first week of April. Its better to be on the safe side. Good luck hun. xx
