MindiJean 93 Posted November 12, 2013 Were you given the option of taking a shower after your surgery? I'm supposed to be in for three days and I can't imagine not showering for three days? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ekmw 56 Posted November 12, 2013 I was allowed to shower the day after my surgery. I'm unsure on how you'll be after surgery, but I didn't want to do anything after, not even "eat". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PdxMan 4,292 Posted November 12, 2013 I was outpatient. I was released from the clinic around noon, went to the hotel and took a four hour nap. Woke up and took one of the best showers of my life. Took the wife out to dinner, walked all over downtown Las Vegas (Baby!), played a few hands of blackjack and was back in bed by 9:00. Woke up the next day to another glorious shower.

gomekast 559 Posted November 12, 2013 I ws2s given the option the day 2, but I said no. I don't like showering in hospitals. You will be given the choice at some point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cabingirl 55 Posted November 13, 2013 If you feel well enough and are steady on your feet, and a shower hasn't been offered, request one. Typically the clinicians want to ensure that you're able to stand safely for the shower. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
