I had my TT done on August 20, I feel good i drinking plenty of water but I am going stir crazy at home. I do little light cleaning go up the stairs a few time slowly and I have been taken small walks around the tear drop where I live. I been to the grocery store to get a few things, and feel great I don't push myself I walk hunch over to be sure I am not pulling or tugging at my TT site. Is okay to just get out? I want to go to our local mall its small but just to walk around but my drains r still in.
