Before Before Before After Day 1 - Came home, took two Tylenol, and passed out for two hours. Woke up feeling totally fine, thought it was manageable and was satisfied. Fluid drained from the incision site, so I wrapped it all around with sanitary pads (every time I changed the pads, there was a strange satisfaction, like drain, drain)
Day 2 - When I opened my eyes in the morning, maybe because of the swelling, the muscle-ache-like pain was at its peak. Went to get sutured, and the suturing didn’t hurt at all, but when they put on the compression garment, I teared up a little ㅠㅠㅠ
Day 3 - I’m dying. It was so hard that I took Tylenol together every time I took my meds and passed out sitting up (if I lie down, my arms hurt when I get up)
Day 4 - Strongly felt like the day after climbing Hallasan with my arms. More bearable than day 3.
Day 5-7 - Felt like the day after a hard arm workout. I can raise my arms quite a bit and wash my hair by myself.
