no vacation for foreseeable future

[johnwayne]

asked pm if there would be any vacation to be had in the next two months. Response:"hiring portal opens next friday, tell everyone you know"

i have 88 sick days racked up. How many can i take, and how often before any kind of discipline kicks in?

I foresee a doctors note in your future for stress, maybe even an FMLA case, and take as many as you'd like. Take the whole darn election season off. I'm doing that with my hip replacement surgery starting Sept 21 and out for 4-6 weeks.

you'll be out longer than that before you are truly steady on your feet or allowed any stair treads, expect at least 8-9 weeks and probably only come back for 3-4 day weeks at first.

Take as many sick days as are medically necessary for you to maintain your health.

File the requisite leave requests for any AL you wish to take, grieve any denials.

USPS's endemic inability to properly staff does not constitute an emergency situation that would override your contractual rights to utilize benefits that you earned as you see fit.

Are you sick or just malingering?

As you are probably aware total hip replacement has two techniques, the more invasive one had 12 weeks of restrictions, the other approximately 6 weeks.

Joint surgeries can be interesting.

I needed to have my knee redone without replacement. This included procedures like forcibly fracturing my femur within the knee joint. Total recovery was expected at... 2 years, with a return to work in 4-6 months.

A TKR would've had me back in about 6 weeks.

The hip replacement I'm getting tomorrow is the computer aided one. Doc said 4-6 weeks recovery, maybe 7.

The plus side is the pain is not generally significant from that surgery for long. The down side is it takes your body a while to recover from having the ligament tendons stretched out to open the socket area. And, I've had patients say it feels odd, like they are walking on someone else's leg for a few weeks until the body adapts to new length.
But, most are very happy with results. Just be really cautious about post surgery instructions and fever. Good luck!!

Say hello to my new metal hip. Surgery went great, fast and the pain is very manageable with pain blockers they gave me. Doc said total success. Now for a few weeks off.
And yes post surgery drugs and instructions are a lot to follow.
So far, so good and TY Gotrope.

Excellent, don’t try to be a hero, stay ahead of ANY pain, take your drugs.

Something about the start of your post reminds me of somebody…”I always tell the truth, even when I lie.”
