Shattered elbow

I tripped walking up porch steps at my home and shattered my elbow. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I am currently 2 weeks post op, just got staples out and splint off. I go in for PT starting later this week. I’m wondering if anyone with a similar injury was able to return to work at a manual-labor heavy job. I work for FedEx Office and a lot of our job duties include heavy lifting frequently over 50 lbs. Currently I’m set to go back to work in a month with restrictions, and no restrictions in 3 and a half months. Not sure how realistic it is and would love to hear about the experiences of others.
