When I broke my ankle 11 years ago, I was working in an office. I went back to work not the next day but the day after but our office was up some quite steep stairs and although I made it up ok, albeit slowly, my boss said he was concerned about the fire risk and promptly sent me home until I was out of my cast and in a boot.
When I broke my arm as a teacher, I didn’t have any time off, but I was obviously fully mobile apart from being in a sling.
