Day 5 update, is this normal?

hey girls thought I would give an update on my journey so far, after i removed my strapping yesterday (day 4) I have seen a major change in my recovery before I was in so much pain from the stupid strapping pulling and blistering my skin 24 hours later I am the complete opposite I feel amazing! Stopped all painkillers yesterday lunch time, today I have managed to blow dry my hair, shower my bottom half and get myself dressed, walked around tescos for 20 minutes, been out for dinner with my fiancé, I have no pain I feel so comfortable and sitting up to sleep is sooo much better without the tape pulling my skin actually got a full nights sleep! Iv noticed a major difference in swelling reducing and my boobs feel less hard and more soft. I’m still not doing any heavy lifting or putting pressure on my arms but I can lift them high enough to do a pony tail, is this normal to feel this good on day 5 especially as I had partials??? Iv kind of gone for doing what feels most comfortable and it seems to be working I just feel like my recovery is going so well so quickly compared to most people I don’t know if it’s a good or bad thing is there any one else who felt this good this early??? Xxx

Hi hun, this is normal I was of all my meds on day 5 and I felt so good compared to the previous days but I did have overs. Please be careful not to over do it or keep lifting your arms as it could hamper your recovery. I rested in bed for a whole week even though pain was more or less gone by day 5 x

@lisalili yay glad I’m not the only one I thought it was weird I was feeling so well! Course not Hun I’m still being a diva and getting people to help me with loads I was glad to get out the house though but I can rest in the garden now we have lovely weather in Essex so I won’t feel so inprisoned lol xx

Good 🙂 never pass up on an opportunity to be a diva haha! Weather is beauts isn’t it! 🙂 xx

Hi @Amie sorry for the question did it hurt when they took the strapping off? I had my surgery on sunday and getting the strapping removed this coming Monday. I’m a bit worried about it being painful 🙁 xx
