Can’t avoid heavy door
Hey there good folks of r/TopSurgery! I’m 6dpo from DI top surgery, and recovery has been going smoothly so far. I’ve had a family member staying with me so far, but soon she’ll be leaving and I’ll be faced with the problem of a heavy door that is necessary to enter/exit my apartment.
It’s weighted to prevent break-ins and is probably 20-30 pounds. I can enter the building by leaning into it with my shoulder, but leaving my apartment will be a challenge as I have to pull. Has anyone been in a similar situation and found a device/workaround that helped you? I’ll have friends coming to check on me daily for the next week but won’t be cleared to lift anything heavier than 10lbs until I’m 4 weeks PO.
