Hi how long has everyone been off after a tan.

I was given a sick note for 6 weeks but my husband is wanting me to return after 4 weeks.

Said I won't need 6 weeks as i am different now to when I had op 10 days ago so won't need 6 weeks.

Thanks

    Hi Jo, I'm 7 weeks post op I do Auxiliary work I've been given a 12 wk sick note !! I have also been told to see my doctor again before I go back to work to make sure I'm OK to go back. At 7 weeks I'm still getting days where I still need to rest most of the day although I'm doing most of the housework myself now sad i' m only doing this at a slow pace . hope you don't go back to work to soon . take care

    Yeah I was thinking if I go back for 12hours after 4 weeks then after 6 go back to my usual 22.5 at least I'll be getting half pay and get others to get my files initially.

    I'm sure work would agree to that and then oh will be happy too.

    Your husband is not a doctor is he?  Take whatever time your doc prescribed for you.  Don't want to start a row but it's your health, not his.  You need to heal and he needs to be a man and pick up the slack!
