are there any other dental hygienists or dental assistants?

I am a dental hygienist and am 9 days post-op. I am going stir crazy at home as my recovery has been smooth and thankfully uneventful. I am wondering if there are any others in this field and how long you waited to return to work. Jen (open RNY 1/6/03)
