The Nemours Foundation says you should ask your doctor about the following activities:

• If it's OK to get up and go to the bathroom.
• If bathing, getting something to eat, or doing light tasks around the house are allowed.
• The best position to assume while you're in bed.
• Whether it's safe for you to work from home.
• If you're allowed to drive.
• If sexual activity is allowed.
• Ways to promote blood flow and better circulation while you're in bed.
• If you're allowed to walk, and how much.
