Not sure this is common or just something that I struggle with personally, but I’ve noticed that I start to get a lot more anxious agitated and about my surgery in the early recovery period, when enough time has elapsed that I can slowly get back to my usual day-to-day activities, but not enough time that I know I’m 100% in the clear WRT placing tension on incisions. I’m back to work and I’ve been overthinking every small thing. Is it going to affect my healing if I open this heavy door? Did I just open my incision by flexing my pecs while putting my arm through my backpack strap? What was that twinge of pain when I bent over—shit, I’m not supposed to bend over, am I screwed? are my stitches going to spit again? Should I have asked my surgeon to use non dissolving sutures? Blah blah blah. It’s embarrassing lol but kind of nice to get off my chest here.
I've psyched myself out with wondering if that little white part along the bottom of my right scar is a dehiscence, because when I removed the loose steri strip and applied antibiotic cream I noticed that the cream settled in two areas along the incision line. It could just have been scabs under the cream but my anxious brain is wondering if the incisions are opening in those areas argh. I didn’t take a pic after wiping off the cream residue and now that Ive put new steri strips on, I guess I won’t know for a few days. I thought I was a lot more laid back this time round but I suppose not lol.

Mobility is much better today. I have barely any pain anymore, down from a 5/10 without painkillers to a 1. I am trying to be mindful about bending and lifting things. Incisions look a bit better, this is after a shower. I tried wearing my sloggi padded bra without an underwire today but its pretty uncomfy surprisingly. Otherwise I have been wearing my all time favourite marks and spencer seamless non wired crop tops which have been fantastic. Doctor said in healing great at the follow up yday.
