The beauty of a woman is not seen through what she wears. It is seen through how she carries herself and the way she doesn’t allow herself to settle. Don’t ever let anyone take for granted the beauty that is within you. Stand firm and know that you’re a wonderful person. Always remember your value and respect yourself. I’m so blessed to have you in my life. Sometimes we all need to be reminded how special we really are!

I think it depends on what you do at work. My dad is a school bus driver, so he was off for 6 weeks. I'm a church secretary and only work one day a week doing the books and secretarial stuff...I didn't take any time off. Worked the day before my surgery, and then the following week my mom drove me to work my usual day. I'm a SAHM, so I didn't get any time off from that! LOL

I was a SAHM when I had my surgery but will say that ten days after my surgery my step daughter and her family came up from Florida for a week. It was exhausting, and thank goodness she had the great sense to see that I wasn't holding up well and went to her brothers to stay after about 2 days of being here. I needed to rest but was trying to cook and entertain. I can't imagine working before 3 weeks at bare minimum.
