Moving boxes?

[summergirl1211]

I think you should be fine as long as the items aren't ridiculously heavy. Do you have a nurse line you could call? Maybe see if your doctor has any general guidelines they recommend? I would think anything less than 20-30 pounds would be perfectly safe. I still lift my almost 40 pound 3 year old on a regular basis.

Ditto PP, don't strain too hard and maybe avoid lifting the furniture, but you should be fine with the boxes. Just don't try to do too much, especially if you aren't used to lifting heavy things to begin with.

I would maybe avoid furniture that's really heavy. At this point, I don't worry much about things less than 50lbs.

ETA: I should add that I don't worry as much about that higher weight so long as you're lifting correctly. I wouldn't go that high at all if you aren't used to lifting items properly.
