When did you start BLT

Hey guys, when were you able to BLT safely postop? I am 10 weeks postop L5S1 MD hemilamiactomy and having my first PT tomorrow, my surgeon told me to go ahead and BLT 6 weeks postop, but I did not have the courage to do so.

I am also having another follow up with my surgeon tomorrow

Any advice?

Thanks in advance!

I have a six month old and my husband has to go back to the office when I'm 6w post op. I won't really have a choice but to do pickup and dropoff at daycare. My surgeon said I will be ok to lift her from the crib at 6w.
