Yes, there is a big difference between walking and cleaning the house. Take it easy, but that doesn't mean lay in bed all the time.
No lifting, bending or twisting. All things that are part of cleaning house, unless you are very, very, very cognizant of what you are doing at all times, and don't lift, bend or twist. I would rather not try and clean the house, if there is a possibility that I will do one of those things, without thinking about it. It's just too easy to do.
