    Take Care of Yourself
    Your body will let you know when you are ready to begin activities. Please listen to it. Rest as much as you can. Then do very light activities. The first things I did were to fold clothes and wash dishes. No lifting of anything over 10 lbs. See how you do and then advance slowly. You will be up to speed before you know it! Smile and breathe!
