NO lifting over ten pounds, which you obviously know. It takes six weeks for those inner stitches to heal, so pay attention...  |
I put in a call to the doctor just in case. I'm three weeks out, and I don't want to give my body ANY reason to ever have to be in the hospital again, trust me! I'm waiting for the go ahead from the doctor before I start anything! Thanks, though...
