Day 5, what a week of ups and downs!

Well after a day of feeling really "up" on Tuesday, the day after surgery, I felt OK on Wednesday, then Thursday was a real low. Sick of feeling useless, not being able to lift anything, feeling knackered and fuzzy headed.... generally rubbish.

I haven't had a lot of pain, and decided to stop taking the strong painkillers (celebrex). Had last one Thursday morning. On Thursday night I kept waking up, not in pain, just wide awake! So I concluded the pills had been making me sleepy!

Friday was much much better - my brain felt more in gear, and I started to feel I could do a bit more.

Today I am still being careful with lifting things, but have picked my baby up a few times. Nothing hurts, and I'm not carrying him far... surely this is OK?!?! Don't think I'll be picking my toddler up for a few more days though!

Still well chuffed with my boobs, they are dropping and softening nicely already, and hubby is over the moon too which makes it all worth it!!

Moved to BA section.

Glad you're loving your boobs hun

Sounds like you're having a great post-op experience babe, glad to hear you're happy with the new additions! xxx

I would think as long as it feels comfortable and you aren't straining when lifting you will be ok to pick the baby up. Glad you are healing well.

glad all going well hun, still, don't do too much eh... xxx
