In my own case, I was able to start working from home after about two weeks, and I was back to work in three. One caveat: I took inter-city taxis for the first month or so back at work. I don't drive, and didn't feel up to standing at bus stops, on buses, etc. during a commute that can approach 4 hours, round-trip. The taxis made the difference for me. But the main point is that I could work normally after only three weeks. Everybody's different, but you may not have so long or rough a recovery period. I certainly didn't. Good luck! Snoopy
