Hello all, this is my first post on here!
I’m due to have WLE (on my forearm) and SLNB on 26th June. Hopefully no graft or flap required, just stitches
! I’ve been invited out on 5th July (9 days post surgery) and wondered whether I’m being too optimistic if I accept the invite! (It’s a coach trip to Hampton Court flower show). Any advice on recovery time would be greatly appreciated. Obviously I understand that not everybody is the same.
Thank you. X
Hi and welcome to the online forum.
I had a WLE on my upper arm and a SLNB and would definitely have been okay to go on a trip 9 days later. As you said we're all different but I didn't need any painkillers after a couple of days and followed the advise to get up and about as soon as possible. I made sure I didn't use the arm I'd had the operation on for at least a week to give it time to heel and I didn't drive for the recommended 14 days, although I could have done if I'd needed to.
Hope you have a great time at the flower show and do come back and tell us how you get on with your ops.
