Hi Keba, just wanted ti share with you my experience. I had my bilateral mastectomy with breast reconstruction last November 24 and unable to move much for almost a month especially that I went home with drains on both sides. I was doing some arm streches daily. My family had to help me prepare my food and do cleaning too. My doctors said after 6 weeks I'll start to regain strength, which is true. I was driving and going for morning walks as my exercise. By mid February I was back to work, partime. Btw, I'm turning 40 next week, single and living by myself. Wishing you all the best
