update TUG flap recovery

Hi all,

7 weeks since the op now.
For anyone considering TUG flap reconstruction I just wanted to update you on my recovery. Although I still feel tightness in my legs I have regained most movement (squatting still a bit of an issue). Still a bit of tightness when I raise my arm to the side, but otherwise no issue with the reconstructed breasts. Looking forward to the minor procedure on 8th May to tidy up the scars and even up the two sides. (A bit more fat to be removed from my hips by liposuction, and put back into the new breasts!)

Roll on Summer!!!
