    im 3 days post op. You definately wont be able to lift small children! You arent supposed to lift your arms above your head, for example, i cant reach for a glass out of the cupboard! You really need someone there 24/7 to help with things like getting dressed and getting washed etc xxx

    I agree, i couldn’t lift my son until about week 4 but he’s a bit older so it wasn’t an issue. I had 24/7 help for a week and then my mum helped out until the end of week 3.

    Didn’t clean until week 4 either and then could only do a little at a time otherwise i’d be so sore.

    Can’t hoover until nearly 6 weeks and still can’t pull up a line of washing at 7 weeks.

    I had unders though so things take longer to heal
