Hunched Over Little Old Lady

I'm going on day 8 after my LBL and BL, and I am still walking hunched over! I am walking about 85% straight up. I know that everyone is different, but after how many days did it take to walk straight?

That answer is going to vary. I was walking straight at about a week out but I've heard of some folks taking 3-5 weeks. Just give it a little more time. I'm sure you'll be walking straight before you know it.

took me about 3 weeks :P

I was probably walking straight about 4 days out.

The 85% is pretty good. How are you feeling otherwise? Do you still have your drains?

Hello Shelly! I am at about 90% today, and I get my drains removed as well! I have been walking the halls, and I am suprised at how well I am moving. Of course I am anxious to get back to my old self, but I have come to realize that it will take plenty of time! How are you feeling?

That's so good to hear, Ginger! It really is neat to see marked improvement every day. When do you get to leave Houston?

I am doing great! He cleared me for 20 minutes of cardio this week, so I've been going to the first 20 minutes of my step aerobic class- and it's been really good. I don't do any real hopping or jumping, but I get my heart rate up a little and sweat a little. Nothing hurts and I can keep up, which I was kind of worried about. I am looking forward to next week when I can do 30 minutes.
 
The scars look so much better at 3 weeks out than they do at 2. You are going to LOOOOVVEEEE having those drains out!
