My pulomonologist relented to my bugging him about letting me get back
to lifting weights -- but limited me to 10 pounds. I went to the gym
yesterday and did lateral raises with 10 pd weights for too may reps
to even count so I stopped and did some cardio instead (which he says
is OK). Should I even bother with weights? I'm not very big but have
OK definition. Anything I can do to maintain what I have?

Get a second opinion. I'd start with asking a sports medicine
specialist for a specialist in your problem who deals with a lot of
athletes. 10 lbs. is likely a random, conservative number; maybe 25
lbs. is better ...
