CPW: Returning to work after a medical procedure
If you were off work for 3 weeks due to a medical procedure (surgery/physical therapy/etc), but ended up feeling better at week 2, would you go back into work a week early? Or would you milk the 3 weeks off? Edit: This is a PAID leave.
In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!
T-TTC since Dec 2008. PCOS/nonexistant cycles(anovulation) and endo. HSG in '10 revealed both tubes blocked. Lap surgery in Dec '10 to correct. Failed Clomid/IUI and injectable(Bravelle)/IUI cycles so far.

I'd probably check my email, just to start getting caught up, but wouldn't do any real work.

Also, it would depend on whether I was creating more work for myself upon my return if I stayed home. Or if coworkers had to pick up the slack for me while I was gone. I'd feel shitty about making more work for others if I felt up to working.
SS- Would completely depend on a few things. Paid/Unpaid being one of them.
Another being the likelyhood that there may or may not be more time off needed in the future. If this was a one and done, then I'd probably be more likely to take the 3 weeks. If it was one in a series of procedures, or I had any inkling that i may need more time off in the near future, I'd probably be more likely to go back.
I would also return earlier if it was going to cause more work to pile up for me when I got back, or for my co-workers, like @spin25 said.
After 2 years of TTC, lots of tests, and a Hysteroscopy/Laparoscopy to remove several polyps,
Clomid/IUI #1 3/14: cancelled due to surprise BFP 3/8/14.

JK, I would probably be checking email the whole time because I am a sucker like that.

"You know you're in love when you don't want to fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams." - Dr. SeussI would totally milk it if I was getting paid. Whether I'm still recovering or eating bon-bons, I'd take all 3 weeks.
Unpaid would be a totally different ball game. Then I would go back as soon as I was cleared by my doctor.

That or she hates her husband, loves her job or is just plane crazy.
And on that note, I would take the full leave as long as I wasn't saving PTO for something else and wasn't bored out of my mind at home.
