Hi everyone
Today is my 2nd day at home
1st day I stayed in bed the whole day for no other reason than I knew if I got up I'd be bound to do something I shouldn't hahahaha and of course I was tired, my head didn't feel quite connected either.
Today I got my 1st long awaited shower, not easy trying to keep the area dry but I had an extra towel to hand so if I felt I'd got too close I quickly gave it a pat.
After breakfast I went with hubby to the park walk to walk the dogs having a small cushion between my chest and the seat belt for just in case!
I felt fine, walked for about 1/2 hr meeting people to chat with along the way. It actually felt a bit surreal, they were all surprised to see me so soon after but I didn't feel it was.
Back home, put my feet up for a bit,
It's now 4pm ish and I'm still feeling fine.
Take care everyone xxx
Hi, I was very similar, I could easily have been back at work by week 2, though I’d been advised to book 6 weeks off! Best wishes that you continue to recover well
