Ejourneys - how are you feeling? How is your recovery going. I'm so impressed that you are exercising so soon after surgery.

Thanks, luvsunshine1! I had same-day surgery on March 25 (lumpectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsy) and got back to my mini-bike 3 days later because my legs were still fine. Surgeon just gave me clearance on Thursday to do yard work and I finally resumed planks yesterday. (I was doing 4-min. basic and 1:45 side planks before surgery, so I'm starting out easy. Not in a hurry to increase my endurance -- am just thrilled that I can do them again.)

I was sore for a few days but I didn't even need ibuprofen, let alone the stronger stuff. Had a seroma for a while (fluid buildup, pressure but no pain) at the SLNB incision, but that's gone down and that incision is healing very nicely. Lumpectomy incision has longer to go and the fluid buildup there can hang around for quite a while, but there's no pain. I've got most of my arm flexibility back. (Today was the first day I wore my usual T-shirt instead of a front-button one.)

Once I'm sufficiently healed from surgery, I'll start radiation and hormone treatments. My recurrence score is intermediate, which means it's iffy as to whether or not I'll go on chemo. I see the oncologist again on Tuesday, so I should have a better idea then.

I'm sure that keeping fit has a lot to do with my recovery. Not sure if I mentioned this earlier, but my hospital discharge kept being delayed because my BP stubbornly refused to go up. I was finally discharged with a BP of 79/42 because I was asymptomatic. BP at the surgeon's office on Thursday was 90/60 -- I had to tell the nurse that this is not too low for me. My blood work is all fine, so that's another good sign that I'm starting out strong. :drinker:

Thanks again!

Apr 19: 180 min weed-whacking + 3 minutes planking (1 basic, 1x2 sides)
