How much is too much activity?

I'm almost 2 weeks post having all 3 repaired, how much up & about is too much? I'm pottering around the house a bit making coffee, warming up food for the toddler & baby, sorting washing & bits & pieces. Hubby is always telling me to stop & go lay down!! Mostly got the jist that It's the heavy lifting/pushing/pulling that can be bad for the repair not just being on my feet? I do take plenty of rest breaks & lay down & things get a little sore, but it's just sore? Or am I risking my repair?

    This morning - 10 days out - I worked a 4 hour shift. 2 at a desk and 2 on the sales floor. It was a good test of my limits. You might try the same. Baby steps back to your life.
