❤️ The Long Road to Healing: Week Two Update
Hello from 14 days post-op! This week has brought some huge relief: the surgical drains are gone! If you’ve been there, you know what a monumental moment that is.
This journey after my pre-pectoral mastectomy and full hysterectomy is all about listening to my body. The physical limitations are real (goodbye driving and lifting!), but I was determined to find a way to safely move. I’m proud to share that I’ve been able to increase my walking endurance and have carefully started some low-impact, glute activation work. I even finished my menopause certification to keep myself educated since I was put into surgical menopause myself. HRT journey has begun..more on that later.
Strength comes in many forms. Sometimes it’s a big surgery, and sometimes it’s just a walk around the block without a drains and open wounds (sometimes it’s getting to shower)!
Thank you all for the continued support. It has made these past couple weeks not so bad 🥹❤...
