    My advice is STAY HOME for a couple more weeks at least.  I didn't follow the doctors advice and it was hell.  Keep your foot up most of the time and stand/walk as little as possible.

    I had three weeks off. I have an office job but only had one nerve removed. I did have my foot up when at home. I used to put my foot up at lunchtimes, I took a pillow with me. Foot still swelled for a few more weeks,subsequently had 2 Osteotomys and foot still swelling four months on.

    used to come home and put foot up on pillows to get rid of fluid.
