2 wks ago – double incision mastectomy w/nipple grafts 1st wk – was a good "t-rex" 2nd wk – able to stretch arms to front & sides, but barely able to get hands up to the side of my head – absolutely no way I could have gotten a t-shirt on! Early 3rd wk – can fully stretch arms to front & sides, but still can't stretch up or even wash my hair & am finding myself HUNCHING because of how vertically taut my chest skin is! Normal or is there something I should be doing to stretch/relax my skin?
