Swelling & Stairs

michelle_1221

Hi,

I'm lurking here because the delivery of my first baby resulted in a c-section and I have a few questions. 

I'm guessing the answer is more time, but does anyone have suggestions on how to help reduce the swelling associated with a c-section?  I'm drinking lots of water, trying to increase my intake of protein, and taking Mortin.  Anything else?

StairsL our bedrooms are upstairs, and they told me I could have 1 trip up/down per day and I could increase trips based on my pain.  I've been able to tolerate more trips, but is this helping or hurting my healing? 

TIA!
