My husband saw his surgeon this week and was told he could go back to work in two weeks... So we turned in his work release at his job.
And then his primary doctor said no way, that's not enough time. She wants to extend it another two weeks. Eek. The doctors are meeting today to decide, but fingers crossed he doesn't have to wait another month. Ugh.
We don't want to go back to his boss and tell him that his leave has to extend. Also the disability company is such a major pain. They won't even approved our claim until we have a work release date.
If his time off does get extended that will be 6 weeks off. Yikes. We were originally told 2 weeks, then it was 3, then 4, now possibly 6. This is because his job is so physical. If he had a desk job or could go on light duty he could go back now. Thankfully our church gave us a gift this week which covers a week of bills.
Hoping the doctors agree 4 weeks off is enough, and that the disability comes through.

Hope that DH is able to get back to work when he feels ready! Thank goodness for the assistance from your church! That is helpful. Take care!
