im 3 weeks post op, I think I’m recovering well but you know how you don’t “really” know. I get mixed advice but I’m off the pain meds which is a positive.I’m still not standing straight though. I’m close but it’s a xhallenge. I really have to focus to lengthen and I’m pretty slow walking around but Iv been walking around the block and walking around the shops but I’m not straight and I’m slow is this ok or should I be straight and walking normal?
what point did you lay flat with no pillow under knees?
im showering without my surgical suit (was anyone else’s belly flakey? Like swap skin?)
im just mindful I don’t want to over do it but I want to make sure I’m doing enough
I pushed it too much, tried to straighten myself when my body wasn't ready and opened up my wound and it's very noticeable.
That's my advice, I took around 3 months to feel slightly normal so just don't rush it
Hope you're improving
