Probably you shouldn't. Doing light exercise like walking around is ok, but lifting weight and stuff should be avoided, IMO. Exercising itself isn't that bad, but taking shower afterward can get you really sick.

I hope this sheds some more light on the matter. If you're still unsure, just ask me, and I'll forward your questions back to her at our next session. Thanks.
