I’m day 11. Had overs though, so in theory I should be quick recovering. The pain was better than I expected for the first 3-4 days and I could go to the loo and walk about gingerly. I needed help to dress, get in and out of the shallow bath, wash my hair over the bath etc. Since then I’ve never been in pain as such just a fair amount of discomfort at times. I could brush my hair, dress myself by day 5 and today I managed to shower and wash my hair ok. I just go everything more slowly and carefully. Sleeping’s not good, but I’m an insomniac at the best of times. I haven’t got young children, but if they’re old enough to explain that mummy’s got a poorly chest, or arms, or whatever you feel okay to tell them so they understand you cant hug them as normal for maybe a week maybe?. Good luck xx.
