how long will i be out of work at home?

how long until i can return to work on "limited light duty" status?

 

[silent says]

Out of work 1 week,depending on how strenuous(sp) your job is.It was pretty painful for the first 5 days and hard to sleep.I also had a little work done on my patella.3 weeks out and im done with therapy, a bit faster than they had expected.No limp anymore and can go up the steps fine.Still cant do any legs at the gym but a couple weeks and i'll start slow.Advil didnt work, so have your pain meds ready!

i thought the meniscus was cartilage. i tore it in my left knee in high school and was back wrestling in 2 weeks but i couldn't run cause the impact hurt pretty bad.

you cant have an easier knee surgery. Just get it over with.
