House work ?

Hey girls im 8 days post op and my oh has gone back to work away for the next 13 days leaving me with the kids and the house! When did everyone start doing ther house work again? Im unsure of how much i should be doing at this stage and dont want to hurt myself! Advice please ☺️Xx

@mrssheppard2be I had this problem i attempted to do some housework a week after my Opp vacuuming washing up and did some clothes washing and that night my left boob was so swollen all the way up to my neck so I wouldn’t over do it to much to be honest I think It was the vacuuming that caused the problem xx

@clairelh oh no! Ive done two loads of washing today and done this dishz now my right boob and arm are aching like mad ?? when would you say you were able to do your housework as usual, might have to ask my mam to come round and help xx

@mrssheppard2be I’d say it was about 2 maybe 3weeks before I could do housework as normal I could do a small amount but my mom had to come do abit of housework for me while my boyfriend was away for a week. If you start feel achy try a ice pack that should help 🙂 xx

@clairelh thanks for the advive think im just gunna embrace a messy house as hard as its gunna be ? xx

Oh no this will be a nightmare I’ll be home alone most of the time after op! ?

Lisa how did your post op go on Wednesday?

Xx

P.S. Stay away, I repeat stay away from the Hoover!! ?

@mrsingi it went well thanks the strapping comming off was SO painful i had tears in my eyes and seemed to take ages was such a relief to get it off though i feel i can breathe now and stand straight ?
She sniped my long stitches and cleaned my insisions i had a peek and couldnt believe how well i had healed. She then pt more dressings on the insions and said to keep them on for a further 3 days then soak them in water and remove them myself then i would be clear to shower ??
How you getting on? Xxxx

I’m 4 days PO, I moved back home yesterday, it’s just myself and my 3yo son at home. I managed to change his bed sheet last night being very careful and do a couple loads of washing but left it at that. I moved slowly and carefully and I’m fine today. I think we just gotta be careful when we do stuff and only do the things that you definitely can’t ignore haha!

@beanzz i think you’re right just do the things we cant ignore like dishs and clothes wash… Im ok doing everything REALLY SLOWLY im finding haha ? xx

I’m 3 weeks po today and my place is a trip! lol I have a 4year old and every time I manage to clean he’s behind me making a mess! ? lol I’m ok to clean now but I still get achy if I over do it although I haven’t attempted to hoover yet! X

@kim-passey i know this feeling very well! A mammys job is never done haha!! Yeh from what ive been reading it seems to be the hoovering and the ironing you really need to avoid ☺️ Xx
