The medical bills and surgery will be paid for by the workers comp insurance company. You will receive 2/3 of your gross salary after you have been off of work for 14 days. It will be retroactive back to day one but you have to be off for 14 days.
As soon as you can ask for light duty work so that you can get back in the swing of things.

Don't milk it or try to take advantage. It will not go well with your employer.
