I carried groceries that were kind of heavy for 10 minutes on one occasion 11 days post-op. I guessed if I just kept my arms down at my sides and let my fingers do all of the work, it wouldn't strain me and raise my blood pressure. My blood pressure was slightly elevated, but that could've just been from the walk. I did this again 2 weeks later. Both times, I didn't bleed or bruise. Could that have delayed my healing and irritated my nose?
