Gernerally activities like reading, crafts, watching TV or movies are not restricted.

I meant, what should a patient refrain from doing doing recovery.  I was told not to bend forward, lift anything heavy or strain. Is it okay to use my eyes a lot, as in reading or needlework or desk work?  My head would be forward in some of those activities.  Thanks for your suggestions.

What ever the surgeon prescribes. Varies from patient to patient.
