I went back after 2 weeks. The first full day I was so tired. Came home and napped all night long! The next day was a Saturday so I only worked 5 hours, then had another day off. Thankfully I needed it. Monday I return to a normal schedule.

I was out three weeks before returning. Most times i am home working at my desk but i also travel alot with my work about 50% of my year is on the road. When I returned i had to travel about 8 weeks in a row. I learned real fast to make good choices when eating in resturants.

I took 4 weeks off, and when I went back to work, I felt like me again so it was worth it to take the time off. I didn't have any complications, I was just tired all the time.

cheers'

Kimber~
