Either. Check with: Your surgeon as he'll know best, and every pt is different. He/she will have to have the final say as what you do. Call him and talk to him. Good luck.

Life: You may need your life back , but you need to be patient. That attitude will actually delay your healing or ruin the surgery necessitating another surgery all because you want to be active too soon. Follow your surgeon's instructions to the letter and you will be fine.
