When Can I Go Swimming Post Surgery?

Are we able to shower the day of surgery or day after? OMG I didn't even think about possibly not being able to shower.

Oh heck yes! If you have a drain, my surgeon just said string it on a shoelace or something like that and wear it around your neck in the shower. I used a chain like from military dog tags. Which by the way I actually wore it like that under my shirt a lot. I hated pinning it to my clothes because I didn't want to put holes in my shirts.
