Brian had his follow-up appointment with the Orthopaedic office today and his restriction to lie flat for most of the day was lifted. Though he is still only allowed to be in the sitting position for 20-30 minute intervals, he can now switch between sitting and standing instead of just sitting and laying down. The doctor also wants to see him walking to build up strength. He is to start at 15 minutes a day and work up to 1 hour a day by the next appointment (February 2, 2009).
His weight limit for lifting is still 5 pounds (1/2 gallon of milk). It seems kind of weird to be switching places and me telling Brian not to lift stuff, since my lifting limit is 30 pounds.
