If so how did you do it????
HELP!!!!

Im a self employed childminder and mum of 2 i couldnt work or reach top cupboards for 8 days. Suddenly after that things vegan to ease still couldnt drive though gears were to hard.
Who is your surgeon and did u have a size in mind? You can always ask to see someone else.

Maybe postpone for a while?
do u strap baby to your back ? as u wont ve able to do that.

Can mum in law not move in for a week?

Sorry not much help here just try to relax and ask for help x

It seems like a very short time you have left yourself to recover. I have quite a good pain threshold and really underestimated the recovery process. I had unders, the first 4 days were very difficult, however my mum had my son for those days. I couldn’t tie my hair up myself or reach things high up, I couldn’t even get my own dressing gown on for a week. I didn’t drive for 13 days and even when I did it was uncomfortable. I really think you’ll need to rope in some extra help or prostpone your surgery until you have this help. My son is four years old so he is more independent. But I couldn’t have looked after a baby so soon. Everyone is different I suppose, so you may be fine. Just keep it in mind that you’re having an invasive surgery and you need to rest and recover x

Hey hun u really need to consider getting additional support especially if your youngest is quite hands on and needy. For the first week many have issues with basic tasks such as turning a tap or door knob.

You cannot apply pressure or add weight to ur hands so for example u cannot push urself up when trying to get out of bed. I practised shuffling around on my bum for a few days. I recieved practically alone.wuth my mother coming to check in on me once a day and helping to prep my meds in small shot glasses and opening tins of soup /chopping chicken etc.

I had shallow baths for a month and used wet wipes in between. I had no help getting in a and out of the bath so practised everything I would normally do but without using my hand’s.

I do not have any dependents and found it difficult alone. I made sure the house was spotless and I had bought all my food for the week ahead.
In your situation u need all the support u can get becasue if u do not heal well in the first critical two weeks post op u leave urself open to complications if u over work ur muscles and don’t get rest.

If u need to postpone ur op u need to contact ur pc asap as it will most likely incur a charge the longer u leave it. As for your festival I wasn’t up to being in crowded places until after six weeks post op becasue I was warned by my surgeon tht if I got pushed or shoved it would mess up my implants becasue they had not fully settled until after six weeks.

I agree and that you’ve really got your hands full! Also a festival 2 weeks post op sounds mental! I was so exhausted by sleeping sat up (or not sleeping) every night I was in bed by 10 every night. Even after that, sleeping on my back constantly meant I still didn’t sleep great! I’m at a festival all this weekend and I’m 4 weeks post op. Too early for me I think but I don’t want to waste the tickets. I won’t be drinking loads as I don’t want to sleep on my side or front when I’m drunk. I also don’t want to be jumping up and down and dancing like an idiot like I usually do. I’m worried about the infection risk as well. You really need to be able to rest properly post op so I’d try and get some more help xx

Hi Hun I didn’t have an uplift just a ba and I had no help after day 2 with my children I’ve got 3 youngest being 18months i had a easy recovery I would say could use my arms and hand like normal after first day obvs couldn’t reach up for things but made sure things where at easy to reach areas for me only think I felt was my stitches pulling for first week when I walked but that was it the sleeping was a issues for me as I’m a side sleeper so find that difficult I think as a mum we manage yes it’s hard but for me it was do able just had to take things easier and instead of picking my little one up I would get him to climb up next to me I bought some wash clothes as couldn’t lift my youngest in bath for days when o didn’t have any One pop over xxx
