Showers?

[MindiJean 93]

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?

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".

Surgery Thursday, shower Saturday. I spent a lot of time sleeping Friday anyway.

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.

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.

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.

Well this isn't what you asked.....but after my TT surgery I couldn't shower for 12 days. I went through alot of wet wipes and thank goodness for sponge baths....and a willing wife.

Like you aren't just going to lick yourself clean.

[LipstickLady 25,682]

I went in on Thursday, home on Friday and showered Friday. Just pat the incisions dry and don't use too hot of Water. It could make you light headed.

Have you SEEN where I put my tongue or SMELLED whatever it is that crawled in my throat and died?
