Swimangel, how are you doing with the recuperation from your DIEP?

MaryJo, are you noticing any significant improvements in your lower back? I know you are a lot like me and we tend to overdo it. Rest is as important as exercising, so please make sure you get enough. In fact it is during rest, that the body is able to build and heal itself. Your body has been through a lot and there are significant amounts of healing and adjustments needs to take place. Listen to your body.
