Thanks for the input! I'm younger (28 going on 29), and in good health, other than these recent issues. I'm a biologist, so also physically active, but this time of year it is *mostly* desk work (data input and analysis, reports, etc). So sounds like I should be able to return within a week. My biggest concern with getting back to work is the paycheck... don't have any sick/vacation time available to take off (due to being out sick so often these last couple of weeks), so I simply won't have income. (Fortunately my husband is working, so we'll have income, just will make things tight for the interim.) My biggest concern with recovery is taking care of my toddler. I don't expect being able to carry her (she's 23-24 pounds now), so I'll need to get someone to help me get her to/from daycare, and while my husband is at work. I'll figure it out, but I'm encouraged to hear how quickly recovery could be!
