Protect the Wedding Cake

After surgery you need to take it easy and give yourself time to heal. Besides the weight restrictions concerns you also need to be mindful when driving. Of course, it is always traumatic when you are in an accident, but now after your surgery you are susceptible to tearing sutures and staples and other possible injures. That is why when driving you should pretend that you are carrying precious cargo. Even if you don’t get into an accident you might still cause injury. Imagine that you are transporting a multilayered wedding cake on the passenger seat, and that even a slight force could topple it over. You know that this cake cannot easily be replaced and that the wedding reception has no other choice but to wait for you, so there is no need to hurry. Even mild quick turns or hard bumps could cause disaster so don’t chance it.

In order to relieve symptoms of numbness and pain during the day you must modify the way you sleep at night.

Swimming is an excellent overall exercise for the entire body. It strengthens and tones muscles and it burns fat. It is also a very good exercise to increase flexibility in the upper body. Start out by locating a lap pool if possible. Backyard swimming polls are okay, but lap pools are usually longer allowing for more swimming and less turning. If you do not have access to a swimming pool, but do have access to a hot tub you can simulate the breath stoke using your upper body only. Begin your swimming program with slow and controlled swimming for 10 to 15 minutes for 2 to 3 times a week. Side strokes or breast strokes only! No overhead strokes! After 1 to 2 weeks, increase your time to 15 to 20 minutes 2 to 3 times per week. Work your way up to swimming 25 to 30 minutes without stopping work on slowly increasing your speed.
