angieband 7 Posted September 16, 2011 Hello, I had my surgery on tuesday. I am showering today for the first time since. I was wondering, what would feel more soothing and less hurtful on my incisions? A hot shower or a cold one? Thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leepfrog 4 Posted September 16, 2011 Hi! Congrats on your surgery! I just used the same temp I typically used which is on the warmer side. It felt fine. Good Luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greenjean 1 Posted September 16, 2011 Stick with luke warm or warmer , that was best for me, my surgery was last friday, today is one week! I asked when I could swim and they said not until completely healed and no scabs. The shower will make you feel better, and you will rest better. Good luck!

bromo 17 Posted September 16, 2011 The first shower today was very nice. Even though I couldn't do the scrub scrub that I normally do, just washing my hair and getting clean was a super good feeling. Tomorrow I plan on facing my apt steps and going outside to walk. So tired of just walking around inside the apt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
