Just wondering Im having my BA on Friday and I know I won’t be able to lift my arms over my head for w while so I can’t even wash my hair over the bath…(DREADING NOT WASHING MY HAIR) but in regards to wearing zip up tops…how long till i can lift my arms over my head and wear normal clothes!?!?!
i started wearing normal tops after day 7. ones that have a bit of stretch in though, so don’t have to put arms up. just like wriggling out of a straight jacket pmsl.
as for washing hair… i found a good way… dip my hair in sink full of water…keep arms close to chest, but use my fore arms to pour cups of water over to rinse. the bathroom floor got kinda wet and its not ideal but did the job.
I’m 3 weeks and starting to do what Charlottepink said, I can still feel a pull when I lift my arms too far but have managed to adapt so I can wash and dry my hair now, just can’t wear tight tops yet
I managed the day after my op but it really does differ from person to person. I felt fine until i had the strapping off at 6 days and then i think i got the aches that everybody else seems to have straight after their op, they only lasted a couple of days though so i have been very lucky xxx
