Rough weekend!
I hope you are feeling better soon Katie! I was told to lift nothing more than 5 lbs for 6 weeks. It is very hard because sometimes I forget and catch myself at the last minute. Can't even pick up my kitties. Thank you for the warning though...I am feeling better and sometimes I feel I can do more than I actually can. This will make me be a little more cautious. Remember to rest :)

Thanks, Sue! I was told the same thing but did I listen? No. At first I could hardly even pick up a carton of milk without feeling the strain in my abs but then I suddenly felt better so I assumed I was fine... My muscles are telling me otherwise! Definitely try not to stress those muscles too much. I think it's good to work them a little bit, but let that be through gentle walking and things like getting up and down from chairs, lol ;) So glad to hear you are feeling better!! Sounds like it was a rough start but I'm quite sure you will have nothing but smooth sailing from here on out :)
