Hey,
If you’re really concerned you could take a photo & email it to a nurse 🙂
It’s usually fine though, surgeons will strap you up considering these things. I wore strapping too and it is awful, bet you can’t way to get it off! The reason they look closer together is probably swelling.
Day 2 is definitely more painful than day 1, day 1 you still have the anaesthetic in your system so you don’t really feel as much. Just to warn you, I found day 3 the most painful! But hang in there, take your meds & you’ll survive!
One other thing about anaesthetic is it does cycle through your system for quite a long time, so for a couple weeks after you might get a sudden really tired feeling. It’ll pass 🙂
All the best with your healing x
