Baths, showers, hair post myo

[Guest guest]

Once I was back home after my operation I had showers rather

than a bath. I was worried that getting into the bath and out again

might have hurt, using the stomach muscles, or that I might slip.

I knew when it was OK to shower at the hospital because a

nurse said it was all right. I used my own shower/body wash (a

senstive skin brand) the nurse had used for a bed bath on my

second day. It's wise to take in a flannel or sponge. I have long

hair and generally wash it in the shower or leaning over the bath,

using the shower attatchment anyway.
