Hi Steve
I think that for the moment while you are still in recovery mode that you are doing the right thing.
Generally it is great to do a second set partly because you feel yourself going more deeply into the pose and you have a real sense of your body. There is something very satisfying about it. And yes it can be tiring.
For you, in your current healing state, it makes sense to do enough yoga to restore your function and vitality. You don’t have to make it a marathon. Your application to the poses keeping good alignment and focusing on the breath will probably help reverse the effects of your condition for a huge number of reasons including better circulation (lymphatic and blood), better delivery of nutrients to all parts of your body, better removal of wastes, better functioning of your organs. Focusing on improved function as your reason to practice, in my mind is far more useful to you than yoga-ing yourself to the point of exhaustion.
One day, and maybe even soon, you will be surprised at how you get to the point where you know you are ready to do 2 sets. When you do that, remember that you still have to respect where you are at. It may be 2 sets one day, 1 set for a day or 2 before you work to consistently practicing 2 sets. Play it be ear.
I wish you an easy recovery
Namaste
Gabrielle 🙂
