Surprisingly mobile...

Okay, so maybe it's the method or the whatever, but I'm incredibly mobile for someone who had his top surgery last friday.
I can raise my arms up to 90° angle from my body in a forwards or sideways direction.
I am also quite awake, alert, cheerful, and other fun things.

I'm not really all that sore, just a little in the right side.
I can "almost" sleep on my left side even.

I am going to call for the appointment with the doc tomorrow to have a change of dressing (and hopefully a peek at results) but as of yet I'm aware that this is... unusual... for blokes in my position.

Yes, I know, no call for concern "yet", but I'm a little puzzled still... and I just wanted to post about being out of surgery.

Any thoughts?

The instructions sheets I got from doc said "move arms up to the feeling of pain"... but yeah, I'm not flapping my arms 'round or anything.
I don't feel any tug on the incisions for most of my moving 'bout. It may be because he used the T anchor version and  my incisions seem actually rather small, all things considered.
I mean, I was a generous DD before T.... there was a fair bit of skin to remove.
