Have Surgery Date! - LBL

Hi Ladies,

Just checking in on you! I've been following this thread closely but am limiting my time on the computer because my Dr. doesn't want me sitting directly on the backside to much, so I'll keep this short (for me that is

).

Karen, for me at a little over one week post-op stairs are doable -- slightly challenging, but not too bad. However I agree with KD that 4 flights of stairs might be a bit much. That said, I think each person is going to be a little different as far as what the can or cannot tolerate after surgery. For me it has always been the case that lots of post-op. activity makes me stronger and feel better, so the more I do the better I feel.

For both of my surgeries I was allowed to shower at three days post-op, but I have noticed that almost no two Dr.'s seem to give the same post-op instructions. They all seem to have their own particular ways that they want things done.

KD I'm so glad to hear that you had a good day at work and that things are getting better. Enjoy those naps too! I noticed that I never sleep better than when I'm recovering from surgery!

Have a great day ladies!!!

Hi Frangi - I am not getting anything to fill my tush in so I wonder if I am going to be too flat! It already feels bony with all the skin there - isn't it weird to feel uncomfortable on a hard seat/in bathtub now without the weight?

I am a bit nervous about the stairs!

thanks for advice.
