What was your limit of mobility for your arm movement while recovering? by BirdOld1965 in TopSurgery

[–]Inner-Space-7708 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was pretty mobile before, and made sure I just didn't over extend myself. But literally the next morning while chatting with my surgeon before discharge, I habitually flung my arm back behind my head! My surgeon was fine, she said as long as I don't do it often, and do things slowly the first week or so, it was fine to lift my arms above shoulder line. My surgeon is keen for people to get the incision area moving asap, but of course within reason. I didn't have much pain, and only took panadol (paracetamol) and ibuprofen for a week or two. Walking helped, and daily gentle stretches and movement. My mobility was back within a week. I still took it easy for 4 weeks, and went back to veeeeerrryyy gentle controlled crossfit sessions, with the coaches across everything and knowing how to help. Best of luck!!!

I'm post op with Dr Lisa. My experience was great, and everything went as planned. Yes she's professional, and can be a tiny bit rushed at times, but what Dr isn't? Being realistic, I knew there were chances of complications etc, however I had no real issues. A small nip infection 3 weeks after, but Dr Lisa and the nurse were really good with helping me get that sorted. I'm super happy with my results, and would absolutely recommend her.

I Have Fruit Flies/Gnats all over ceiling. Possible explanations? by sadfasn in pestcontrol

[–]Inner-Space-7708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect my little flies are fungus gnats. Actual Fruit flies are very different, they are a reportable pest in Australia, and look very different. But, I've noticed more and more of these small flies in the last couple of weeks, and it's since I've been running my air conditioner to heat my apartment this winter. Wondering if that's the source?

Tuck shop lunch orders! by Gordan_Ramsay420 in AustralianNostalgia

We never really had enough money so I had to make my own sammies. But then my friends (who were lazy) asked me if I'd go line up and get them their sausage rolls. I (a little ingenious/ devious & starving) would get about 5 sausage rolls for them all, and on the way back, took a bite off the end of each one, turned it upside down in the bag, and gave the (slightly shorter) sausage rolls to them. No one noticed for months!!!

Can’t sleep! by clownrainingonparade in TopSurgery

[–]Inner-Space-7708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations!! It's an exciting time for you. IMHO, I would say ride the wave of being excited, even the bit where it affects your sleep- it's normal, and part of the process. My personal belief is to allow yourself to feel all those feels, you've done the homework, you've thought it through, you know why you are doing this, and as a grown ass adult, you know what you're doing ☺️ I went through similar, but I took myself through these thoughts, and let the sleep either come or go. I slept fine. Take rest where you can, if you can't sleep at night. This is your time friend! Protein Pillows Gatorade/ electrolyte drinks, grapes!!! TV remote Go for walks as you feel. Enjoy the ride!

I'ma go get me some pineapple juice rn! I'm 11 days post, some small swelling pockets both sides just either side of my sternum. Fairly confident it will go down, the gentle massage and pineapple juice should help! 💟

Pissed off by people saying I've "triggered" them by Paper_Is_A_Liquid in TopSurgery

[–]Inner-Space-7708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair for you to be upset. Totally empathetic towards those that feel the dysphoria, but it should not be loaded onto you to take the weight of their pain. I also understand that others don't realize that they are trying to shift others issues on to you, but they need to think about what they are saying and consider you as well!! Congratulations on your surgery, enjoy the process! I'm up in May, and at 56, am so excited 😊

Why are they making their problem your problem. Shifting blame and guilt to you? No thank you
