Medical Rules -by Kirsten Hartman

Recently I was reminded of the "rules" that I received after a medical procedure. These rules seem to come no matter what type of procedure. You know the ones, "don't lift over 20 pounds", "don't bend over", "apply the medicine 4 times a day". I know these rules are for my benefit, but some days they get to me. What about you. How do you handle these rules? Are you good at following them?
