Its extremely important to do whatever p.t. (physical therapy)and the dr. Prescribes. I graduate with my RN in December and the best advice I can give is take it easy, even though I understand it will be extremely hard to do because you are so passionate about it, healing completely is the best way to ensure you don't have future problems. If you want to be shooting the rest of your days its better to take it easy now and not ruin your future. I'm sure they will have you working with exercise bands and lifting light weights etc just be sure to follow the orders completely
