When I asked about length of time off work. He said 2-3 weeks I should be good enough to return to work (hmmmm I wonder if that is accurate).

Great news. I hope they have internet access, the food is good and the nurses pleasant so you don't get cabin fever.
2-3 weeks to return to work if optimistic IMO, 5-6 realistic...if all goes well.
Good luck to you!!!
