    Even though I’ve had my ba today can anyone recommend how much movement I should be doing? And how long to start moving properly? Don’t know if I’m being over cautious at the moment xx

    Day 1 and 2 I chilled at home I managed to make a cup of tea sandwich etc. Day 3 I went for a walk to my local shop. Day 4 supermarket (someone else drove). Day 5 went out for lunch. Day 6 Christmas Day cooked the dinner with a little help.
    Everyone is different but as we are full of local anaesetic for a few days we think we are fine. Be careful not to open your incisions and happy healing x

    @amy03 thanks so much for the advice! I keep going to lift myself up with my arms and jarring myself so I need to stop! Will I know if I open my incisions? I’m all strapped up at the moment xx

    it takes a lot to totally split then open. You should be fine. I had strapping on for 10 days and didn’t mind it at all.
