I was just wondering when, after surgery, do you feel up to going out of the house. I know everyone recovers at diffent speeds, but if anyone can give me an idea, I would be really grateful.

think it was 4 days accompanied by mum who drove - to fix a broken fingernail. Vanity lol.

Hi Caroline, thank you for your response, and a broken fingernail? It has to be done.

Hi,

I was quite slow to get going. The first day home I didn't leave the house at all, by day 2 and 3 I had little walks outside and on day 4 I was getting a bit sick of being stuck at home so my Mum drove me in to town to go to the supermarket, I just about made it round then I was very glad to get back into the car. After a week I was feeling much better but still easily tired. I've done 3 weeks now and back to walking the dog etc.

Hope this helps,

x

I came home day 5 post-op and went round supermarket same day.
Rested one day and did something the next for next 2 weeks.

Now 3 weeks down the line and I'm 90% fit with a few twinges now and then if I overdo things too much without thinking. Once I could sleep properly I improved almost overnight.
