Surgery Scheduled 5.22.14

I've been emailing back and forth with spectrum and I think I'm scheduling my surgery for the 17th of March. I was supposed to do it last year, and ended up not being able to. But anyways I'm reading up on recovery? I have to go right back to work after the surgery (don't want to use all of my PTO days at one time). Is that feasible? My job job isn't labor intensive its more thinking/problem solving, using software etc - so I'm just curious will if I'll be able to function in that way? Or do the meds create a brain fog? Help! Maybe some ladies have written about this? Can you direct me to them? I'm so excited. ????

Hey ladies!!! Super excited. Just scheduled my surgery with Dr. Ghurani at EPS. Looks like I'll be in Miami for Memorial Day weekend, avoiding all the ratchetness. So excited. I'll update later. So many questions, especially money related. Did anyone else finance part of their surgery? I've got 5 on it but I need to finance the rest. Care Credit? Other institutions? Let me know I want to have the best experience possible. Thanks!!!

I'm trying to plan. Realistically how many days did you take off. I know it depends on the person but are 10 days really necessary
