Top surgery recovery observation

One thing I didn't hear anyone else talk about is the deal with coughing/sneezing.

If you are getting top surgery, I suggest to be very careful to avoid these. Dust your house well beforehand. Spring allergies? I recommend not doing it during spring. Take extra care while drinking or eating to not choke (I'm really bad at this one lol)

I might've inhaled near some dust? I'm not sure but I felt an urge and had my first sneeze post op today. It was very scary😭

#i was very brave but OUCH #i dont think you can do any actual damage by coughing or sneezing #but fast alterations to the inflation/deflation of your lungs #and therefore your ribcage #which is tucked away tight in a compression vest #is Terrifying #it hurt a little on the incisions 😭#kolo emerges #in general recovery is going very very well !!#i am not posting much because honestly i dont have much to say #all of the general tips and observations are ones that have been said a million times already #and a lot of htem i dont even find that bad #ive been able to be independent with a lot of things from the start #i can get dressed by myself etc #im feeling great :D and in very high spirits #if anyone has any questions lmk !!#or any tips etc #hehe #top surgery
