hey Chloe! Don’t worry hun – I felt exactly like that at POD3 – I couldn’t walk, couldn’t wipe myself after I went to pee, couldn’t pull my pants up! I was crying and achey and my bandages pulled on the areas where my drains were. I’m POD6 right now and can honestly tell you it gets better!! Just wait until POD5 – that’s when I started feeling normal. I couldn’t even sit up on my own until end of day 4! Honestly I know it feels so so shitty at that point, but I promise you’ll be feeling right again soon. I feel no pain anymore and can walk etc etc, just itchy now waiting to get my strapping off tomorrow. My ribs and chest feel bruised too, but it’ll go down soon – I noticed a huuuge difference on day 5! x
