Hi all. I'm just coming up to 6 weeks post op after my APR. I was told in hospital that I could only lie on my sides for 2 weeks; then after I was discharged my colorectal nurse, during a phone check in, said that should be 6 weeks. I've asked a couple of times for specific information on how I start transitioning to sitting, and whether the graft site should be checked before I do. No advice has been forthcoming. I'll phone them again next week, and I do have an appointment with the surgical team early Dec. Any advice from anyone recovering/ recovered from the same surgery would be appreciated.
