I guess I'm looking for encouragement!   |
My biggest tip: don't dance with your arms. EVER. or at least for a long time. Last night I did a team dance (I kinda had to, it was in front of all the varsity athletes, a charity event), but MAN am I feeling it now! Super tight neck muscles that are giving me sinus/tension headaches and a swelling feeling in the side of my head. I guess doing the Thriller dance was fitting - because I feel like a zombie now!
Other than that, I hope your operation goes well! Just don't push it too much in the beginning
