A member asked:
Its my 6th day post op ovariancystectomy , is frequent ambulation advisable ? or must rest . is it ok to go for a walk ?

Walk.: It's better, especially six days out, to be walking about, at least within the home. Being sedentary for too long after surgery can promote deconditioning and, even worse, blood clots. Going for a leisurely walk would be fine.
