Hi Ann- Marie,
Thanks for your advice, and I will take it on board. I was wondering about Glucosamine. I also know that exercise will help, and up till when I had my surgery, I was attending a breast surgery class put on by the hospital. The physio who takes the class is great, and I know she does a pilates class, and I will be joining that as well next year. I have also been doing yoga, but stopped all of these things at the end of last term. Although I'm alot better, my rock hard boobs will hinder me, so I will wait till the next term starts, to renew my exercise program.I'm sure my lack of exercise is a major contributor to my bad back and hips. There is a new DVD put out by the BCNA Called Strengthen your Recovery. It is gentle pilates designed for post breast
surgery women. It helps with arm movement and core
strength, and will really help me. I need to watch it soon, as I only got hold of it yesterday.
I hope yo are still recovering well each day. What is your tummy like now? Can you easily get in and out of
bed, or are you still very sore? I know it is just under 2
weeks since surgery.
Love Chris xx
