I have been trying to find an answer to my question. I will be off for 6 weeks after my surgery on Jan. 16. My office is thinking about sending me to Houston in the middle of Feb. They want me to attend two, one week seminars in a row for specialized training. Could I travel that far, probably3 hour flight, and attend classes for that long? Personally, I would rather be on a cruise. ;) My job is a physically demanding job in construction and the reason why I'm off so long.
