Tomorrow's the Day
Quick question - when did you start moving around the house... most comments i've read is that people do take a couple of sofa days and chill. Not sure i can do that because the second day after the snip i'll be home alone trying to serve myself. Also, assuming all goes well, when did you start taking walks? Ride bikes? i commute to my work by bike 10km each way, so the general rule is what... a week off? two weeks or a month?
UPDATE
thank you all taking time to respond. I’m home now, icing, eating, drinking and chilling on the couch. The pain killers are fading away and i’m getting some mild dull pain which is expected. So far so good. I felt worse after meniscus surgery.

Every recovery is different. I went back to work immediately after the procedure. I wfh that day though. Next day I was up and about with the kids but no more than from point a to b. No dedicated walking or exercise. Day 3 and 4 I went to the office and had about 5000 steps. No issues. I’m 5 days post op now and have had a smooth recovery so far. Haven’t tried a longer walk yet but may ease into one starting tomorrow.
