I've been known to get antsy too.
@victoriaa - I totally get you! I am the same way! I feel if I don’t keep moving I will turn into a puddle of goo!😳 It was really hard for me not to just jump back in to what I was used to doing and lifting things and twisting and turning doing things, but the first time I did more than what I should have, I sure felt the pain! Wasn’t immediately, it came later. Actually had to take an 800 mg ibuprofen for it. Made me realize I needed more time to heal and had to move a little slower and more purposeful. It will come. I now am back to running around like a nut and pretty much doing what I could before. I still get the rib and back pain, (mostly from bras riding on where the incisions were) but kind of just “deal” with those. More aggravating than painful. Take your time! You will get there. Too fast, you’ll end up going backwards. Hoping you have a good check up! Write down all your questions so you come away with it feeling confident! Best wishes for you!🙏🙏🙏
