Nah, looks like opening later in the week isn't happening. Doc will not be available. He seemed totally fine with doing it a week from Monday, and I'm fine with it too--it will give me a chance to wrap up a few things at home and at work before I'm out of commission for a week or two.
My bosses are telling me to take whatever time I need. What's nice is that, working from home, I can work for a bit and then take a break--or even the rest of the day off. I have plenty of sick time, so I'm in good shape that way.
