Walking Upstairs After Mommy Makeover (2 Days Post-Op), Is This Possible?

August 20, 2012
Asked By:BecauseICan in Los Angeles

I'm preparing my home for the weeks after post-op. My two dogs will stay at Doggy Daycare, a cleaner will come every other day, my adult daughter will be staying home, and grocery shopping lists and meds will be ready. First day post-op I'll be staying at an after-care facility. On the second day I'll be heading home. My dilemma is walking a flight of stairs to get to my apartment (second floor). Will I be physically able to do it as long as I walk bent over due to the TT?
