Im a week post op tomorrow. I was supposed to have my dressings changed yesterday but nurse had to cancel so im going tomorrow. As im sure most of u are aware its horrible not being able to shower for a week. Iv been washing my hair and washing in the areas that i can manage bit its still. not the same. Can anyone reccommend when i can have a proper shower as i cant find my sheet with do's and donts lol xx

Count yourself lucky babe, I couldn't shower for 13 weeks!

You may get the all clear tomorrow babe, but best to wait and have your wound check before getting your wounds wet due to the risk of infection hun. Xx
