post BA activities? Started by: Rachael

Hi Rachel,

I am totally the same as you! I had my BA yesterday and I’m totally surpised at how little pain I am in… I mean, I feel a little tight and have the odd twinge when I reach out infront of me… but nothing like some girls are experiencing. I’m sat down now and I don’t even feel like I’ve had an operation!

The reason they tell you not to strain yourself is incase you tear your stitches.. if you do that, you could get an infection. Even just tearing them and not getting an infection, will set you back another week for healing meaning more sat around and not doing anything, so it’s just not worth it. You have the rest of your life to do as you please so I would just sit back and make sure you give your body the time it needs to heal properly (even if it feels it doesn’t need it)!

I’m so jealous of you 2 being pain free although obviously I’m happy for you too. I felt like I was going to die on Tuesday when I had the operation, I know the fact that I had a reaction to the anaesthetic and then again to the Oramorph didn’t probably help but I can remember waking up in recovery and the Dr was saying that they couldn’t get my temperature up, my hands and feet were icy cold and they had to put a heating tube in my bed and all I kept saying was that my chest hurt, stuff the fact that my body was going into shock just get this pain gone lol.
I think I’ve had your share of the pain ladies lol.
I’m sitting here eating a bag of minstrels so i know I’m feeling a lot better now.xx
