Take it from an old lady of experience, Staci. Don't overdo it!! If the doc says 6 weeks, take it. Going back to work always seems okay in your head until you get there. After you're there, it turns into you trying to do more and more and more so your co-workers won't have such a heavy load. I know that's the way I am and I end up regretting it. Take it easy and feel better!! You don't want to re-injure the foot.
