Exclamation Retail anyone?
I'm currently working in retail AGAIN while I'm back at school...ahhh... (sorry I have a like/hate relationship with retail) I'm wondering how long a retail worker needs off of work? Any suggestions? Or maybe stories to share ?

I don't work in retail. But I would suggest you plan for about four weeks off. I know a lot of people go back in two weeks, but I think those are mostly people with desk jobs. You're going to get tired easily and being on your feet all day will be hard at first.

I work retail, and I am planning on going back the 10th of november... a little over 2 weeks out. As of right now I do not feel like there will be a problem, I expect to be tired, heck I would be tired going back after 2 weeks off without the surgery. But so far so good with my meals and liquids, I am almost ready to go back to work!
