Returning to work: It all depends how well you are feeling after the surgery. Pain is very subjective. You may be ready to work in a day, while someone else may need more time. Don't overdo it if you are feeling well. Talk to the doctor who did your surgery for any precautions you need to take even if you are doing well.

How do yuo feel?: If you leave the area alone in you mouth. The answer is ... When you feel up to the activity you are going to do and are not taking a narcotic pain medication so yo can think clearly. Usually there will be a white covering over the bone graft. Very important to not move this and it holds the bone graft particles in place. Call your doctor for specific instructions.

Avoid bleeding: Physical job such as moving tables and chairs and doing stairs can cause a rise in heart rate, a rise in blood volume, and thus induce bleeding in the extraction area. Avoid these physical activity to avoid loss of clot and induce bleeding.

Ask the surgeon : It's always best to ask the surgeon who actually performed the surgical procedure rather than getting a standard answer online.
