Hi Sharon,I only took 2 full weeks off work but had to go to the hospital every week for checkups. I had fluid build up so it had to be drained. These appointments did not take long about half hour. I also had limited sick leave and wanted to save most of that for when I get reconstruction done. I was lucky that I could do my job and everyone was really supportive. I'm a computer technician and just got other people to move things when needed. One thing I didn't account for when I returned was the mental stress, my job can be quite stressful I work in three sites a week. I don't know if you have told people at work but I found it helped me. I live with my son and my partner does not live with me so I can understand your worries re mortgage.
