Thanks Katie – sounds like we are two peas in a pod – except I dont wear a bra!
My cycle ride in Italy is a 300km all day event. And i really dont want to lose all the investment in time and money Ive put in.
I did a 8km walk on treamill yesterday (day 5) at a 5.5 gradient – and the scar is a little sore today. I'm going to see nurse tomorrow to get it checked out.
I did try a few minites on the eliptical trainer (arms not moving) and the upright exercise bike – and both felt like they were not pulling on the stitches at all when done at a gentle pace.
I think a two week break sounds like sensible, bar walking. But will drive me crazy.
Do you have internal and external stitches? I have 7 internal (disolvable) and 9 external ( taken out after 4 weeks). Is that similar to you?
I have ordered some Steri Strips for when the stitches come out to help secure the area.
Best to luck
