Hey guys, unfortunately today I split my leg open on a piece of broken glass. I had to go to the ER and get several stitches in my leg as well as a prescription for oral antibiotics and a tetanus shot to prevent an infection (just in case). I'm supposed to work tomorrow and I have a job where I'm on my feet all day doing physical work. The doctor said not to put too much stress on the area and I have a leg wrap that I can't take off until another 2 days.
Should I be working tomorrow or should I call out? It doesn't really hurt that much but I'm afraid of putting too much pressure on the area and the stitched area splitting back open or something. The stitches can't come out for another 10-12 days at which point my other doctor will remove them. If anyone who has had experience with this could let me know that would be great, thanks.
