Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 Usually, you should not lift over 10 pounds, Phyllis. This is what I was told after my CI surgeries. Alice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 At least until you go back to the surgeon for your post op appointment. Then you should ask whether you can lift over 20 lbs. With most surgeries, it's 6 weeks and that is what I try to do. Alice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 Darn but I cant let my angel alone for that long. She is something else. I guess I will have to get my sister to move in with me and do the lifting of her for me. Phyllis Re: How much to lift? > > At least until you go back to the surgeon for your post op appointment.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 well, Cherry's doc told him nothing more than 10 lbs in the first two weeks, then nothing more than 25 lbs for another week, but you know it's best to ask the doc and go by how the person feels. m ;-) > Just wanted to know how much a person can lift after the operation for the ci? I have forgotten. And how long after the operation until you can life anything that you want to. > There are so many things that I have forgotten!!! > Phyllis M. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
