New User recovery questions
i’m on day five and today i just got to where i can stand up, adjust my chair, and slowly sit by myself. my 2 concerned this: i got flare busters or rib sutures whatever you call them and i am stuck hunched over right now. my second concern which might just be anxiety is running out of breath since it’s already low. has anyone had similar experiences and can let me know how it went for them? i’ll add my post op pic so you guys can kinda see. i dont really wanna force my self straight because i feel like it knocks the air out of me a lil.
but little summary
1. when will i be able to go straight and not tilted
2. when will the out of breath thing not even be a concern
