Tony, if you can afford not to work for awhile I'd say do it. Er, don't, that is. I remember not feeling up to working - and I'm a writer so it isn't exactly carrying bricks that I'm doing - for a good 6 months post TX. And then, like David 1, I did so gradually.

I love the idea of taking time to enjoy life. We should all be doing that all the time anyway but of course we so often don't. I'm a year out and working full time and dreaming of a vacation!
