When did everyone start to do more around the house etc….

I know the nurses and surgeons say to rest for 1 week and take it easy for 6 weld but realistically when did everyone start to do everyday things around the house?

I’m 4 days post op. Now and it’s killing me not being able to pick up my 6 month son!!

Once I felt well enough to do little things I did, but couldnt hoover or do laundry for about 2 weeks Just take your time, you will get there. x

I hoovered at 5 days i felt fine but have slowed my scars healing down by a week xx

haha, i’v told my bf i can’t hoover or mop the floor for 6 weeks…and he believes me, so he’s been doing it lol xx

I would never hoover or mop, but since day 1 i have done the washing, cooked the dinners, and emptied the dishwasher,made the beds, went food shopping with hubby, washed hair over sink.. etc. Also went back to work on day 9, which killed my back as work on my feet. I just done it all slower than normal. xx

Glad I’m not the only one then been doing the washing, dishwasher etc!! It’s also giving me a numb bum sleeping upright and I find myself rolling onto my side while I’m asleep! Can I do any harm sleeping on my side! I e done 4 nights now sleeping propped up!

Lol! I was doing everything like norma by day for, it’s day 5 now… Off pain killers. Was driving, tidying, shopping …everything on day 3/4, just no lifting heavy things xx

Careful scarlett as insurance dont cover u for 7 days after GA incase some div crashes in to u xx

Opsi daisy… …2 days left then lol… Xx

I didn’t over do it as was lucky enough to have my bf do it all for me but I’ve felt fine to do things since about day two I reckon, had hardly any pain at all, been really lucky with it. I was only supposed to be popping out for a couple drinks last night as only a week po but ended up staying out until 5 this morning, was really worried I’d be aching and paying for it today but I feel fine! Apart from the hangover I actually feel the best I have all week! Everyone recovers differently so I think as long as it feels ok then just do it but don’t push yourself if it hurts xx

blimey Scarlett your doing well! I can’t even lift the kettle at day 4! i feel like my scars are going to pop open! maybe i’m just being over cautious! My hubby just gone to gym and left me with the kids for an hour and i feel useless!!!

Going out for a family meal thius afternoon and haven’t got anything to wear to disguise the macom!! nightmare!!

I still feel on edge about everything! dont wana lift my arms (hurts) or pick things up. Dont know how ppl are getting bk to same rountine so quick!

When did you have your op Rachel? I feel the same! Really jealous everyone getting back to normal so quickly!!
