I’ve just had my 2nd op too and recovery has definitely been much easier this time around even though I have had an uplift.
I rested for the first 2 days, I had my surgery abroad and on the 2nd day I flew home.
Once home I rested for a day in bed still getting up to make dinner etc but nothing strenuous.
Day 5 I was back working, I’m a nail tech.
Day 6 I drove again.
Aside from the sleeping I’m now day 16 and I’d say I’m back to normal, I just don’t lie on my front or sides in bed.
Not sure when we can?
