Post surgery questions

Good morning everyone, my name is Lisa. I had left temporal lobe surgery 5 weeks ago. I haven’t had any seizures since then thank God but , my doctor said I still can’t bend over and the only exercise she wants me to do is taking walks everyday. I have a dog that I have to walk a couple of times a day at this point. I was really lucky the first four weeks because my family all took a week on to come and stay with me. I’m 49 I am am married to my wonderful husband and have 2 kids. My oldest is 25 and my youngest is 14. My doggie is 1 year old so walking him is challenging. So I guess my question is how long did it take any of you to feel back to normal. I’m not good at spending the most of my time relaxing. I still get headaches but they aren’t that bad.
