Time off after Ooph?

Hello Ladies,
I need to again tap into your collective wisdom and experience :-) I am planning on having a laprascopic oophrectomy. My doc has told me he will put me on state disability, and off work for two weeks standard.

How have most of you felt after the surgery? I am considering having it done on the Tuesday befor my DH has a laproscopic repair of his rotator cuff. That way some of the time I use to care for him will be covered by my disability. I have heard many of you say that you were up and about, doing regular life stuff by a few days after. Is that accurate?

Thanks for you help!
