Keeps on trying
We were told to walk from discharge 15 mins a day,increasing to 30 mins till we built up 10,000 steps a day within 2 weeks.
After i had the two week post op was told to go back to classes,as normal but not to go mad.
Told to avoid bending backwards(camel position in yoga) as this may damage the port.
Apart from that any thing else is o.k.
Hope you are on the mend now,and obviously ready to get into gym or whatever Mia

walking is fine up to week 6, then more serious exercise can be done after you have had medical say so, deffo no swimming for a while as it can infect the wounds xxx

I spoke to Heartlands today and i asked the nurse regarding swimming and she said when the scabs have fallen off the scars i can go to swimming but not till then as cant get an infection, she also said not to over do it and could feel a pulling where the port is to start with but to gently increase the amount i do over time, thanks so much for the suggestions.
