Had my lumpectomy and lymph node removal on Wednesday was taken first which was good I had to stay in overnight due to my complex medical issues but it was fine I had my own room I’m doing my exercises which is uncomfortable but I’m doing them I’m a bilateral above knee amputee so need to use my arms for transferring shirts a bit but pushing through. I see consultant on 3rd November for results and next steps. I’m exhausted all the time my trying to keep hydrated and have little cat naps

Hi I had my lumpectomy and two lymph nodes removed on Tuesday. I’m sore and bruised but getting better each day. My shoulder is tight and my arm pit sore. Unfortunately I didn’t see my consultant prior to post surgery and wasn’t given any aftercare or exercises to do. I thought I was being cut under my boob but it looks like he has cut around my nipple. Is this normal? I am googling everything and feel totally on my own tbh. Is there anything I should know re What type of exercises I should be doing 4 days post op?.i have an appointment next Tuesday to get my dressings changed but no appointment yet for my results 
any advice is very gladly received. Thank you.
