I woke up super tired this morning but actually had an appetite!!!! My husband made me 2 pieces of toast and a half banana and I ate it all!!! I also got visitors this morning, my dad and step-mom!!! While they were here I was feeling very tired though and my breathing felt labored (CO2 pressing against my diaphragm) and so I fell asleep shortly after they left. I ended up taking 3 naps throughout the day (all short though, around 30 minutes - 1 hour). Rest is so important during your recovery!!! It helps you heal faster and allows your body to really recovery. As a personal trainer, rest is sometimes difficult because all I want to do is workout, but after surgery I have to continue to tell myself that REST is good and necessary!!!
I took 2 walks today, 1 lap around our cul-de-sac each time. These felt better than yesterday, but were still difficult!! Each day they'll get easier and I'll get stronger!! Also, I only took ibuprofen a tylenol today and that was enough to manage the pain. My sleep was ok and I had slept at around a 30 degree angle (3 pillows).
Pains/things noticed today:
-tummy felt very full due to CO2 pressing against my diaphragm
- shoulder pain still there
-breasts sore but able to move arms well (much more ROM than the initial surgery)
