There should be no reason why you cannot walk on it know unless the doctor is concerned about separation of the incision with weight bearing. Should be able to return to work 14 days. Yes you should be able to bear weight or walk in it when returning to work

Yes it is very reasonable. As long as there is no infections or complications, You should be back to work after the stitches are out if you do not have to stand or walk long periods of time at work.
