I only have about 10 days of sick leave for my surgery on 9/19/2016! Am I foolish for thinking I can return to work so soon?

Everyone heals differently. Also it depends on the type of job. A sedentary one would be easier than a physical one. I am older having this surgery so found 3 weeks returning I was still tired by the end of the day

As Pat said, it depends on the job. I had an office job, so while I tired easily, it was no trouble to go back to work at two and half weeks. I could have gone back sooner but I had the time so I stayed home and took naps.

I fight badgers with spoons.

that's a pretty ****ty thing to throw down on someone who is getting ready to have surgery, with no explanation or anything?

Did you just pop in to be random ? No explanation ? You are among the minority of people that has a negative thing to say about it and to say it like you did is silly.
