Hiya, I just had the normal 4 night stay like most people
Well I have weird thing where I seem to recover from things really quickly, I could walk around the day I got out of the clinic with out too much trouble, it's just not a great idea... but you still have to empty your pee bag lol.
I kinda got in trouble with the nurse the next day when I went to visit my friend while my room was being cleaned lol. I've tried to stay in bed as much as possible since then, but still get up to make a coffee and I've exfoliated my legs a couple of times and a bunch of other things
I'm just careful not to make any weird movements or fall over or anything. I played Settlers of Catan with my friends yesterday too
sitting is not really doable so just lay on my side at the end of the bed which was fine
I'm getting my dressings removed and packing out this morning, I can't wait!
So want a proper shower!
Again, please bear in mind that I'm weirdo and I think I've recovered more quickly that anyone else who' here at the moment, just super lucky
As for pain, SRS was minimal, just sort of uncomfortable most of the time.. I had BA too, and the binder they had me in the recovery unit was crazy painful and it put my upper back out badly too, and those together were just agony and it was really hard to try to convey my issue to the staff, shots of morphine only helped a wee bit too.
I don't think that's a common problem though. Once the binder came off most of the pain went away, I was so happy! And with a few back massages from mum, my back problem has mostly subsided
I'm room 4077, when do you arrive again?
