Bbk04May 14, 2022

We are building a house and my concern is whether I will be able to help install tile, flooring, etc. I workout currently, obviously will have down time and won't push it, but need to know if 6 weeks post-op I'll be able to help lift some stuff, install stuff, paint, etc. What are people typically lifting at this point? I know everyone is different, but on average.
