2nd opinion?: But in general, being bedridden for a long time is unhealthy. The more you move your body, the better it is for your health and body. Sitting , if tolerated, is likely better than lying in bed. If you have more questions, ask your physical therapist this question. If you are unhappy with the answer, get a 2nd opinion,
