You should ask your doctor what kind of activity is safe for you. Until you get better, it might be better to avoid any unnecessary stairs, using the handicapped features such as ramps where possible. An occupational therapist can help you re-learn necessary actions. I would also strenuously suggest installing a handrail on the stairs of your home.
