3 weeks postop, catching a cold, exercise??

I am 3 weeks postop today and have been making a real effort to exercise 30-45 minutes everyday since about a week out.  I was going to start back to water aerobics last night, but felt a cold coming on and it was snowy outside, so I decided I better wait.  Well today I am feeling even a little worse.  Should I force myself to continue exercising or rest my body??  I don't feel that horrible, but not the best either.  Of course, it figures I go back to work tomorrow too!!

Congrats on your revision.

REST.

I am 4 weeks out tomorrow and going back to work last week was all the activity I could stand. Everyone is different - but in my opinion, you really need to make sure you don't get sick/fatigued and miserable.  Keep healing!!

Thanks Sherrie!!  I think I am feeling a tiny bit better, so may just try to take a little walk this afternoon around the neighborhood without pushing myself. 

I agree do some light walking but rest you just had major surgery. But keep moving so walking is good.

Good Luck back at work and I hope you feel better soon!
