Showering …. ARGH!

My first check up is at 10days post op, does this mean I can’t shower until I’ve seen the nurse?! I’m having shallow baths and getting someone to wash my hair but it’s so hard not to get little dribbles running down and then I freak out about the dribbles getting on my dressings…the stress of it all!!!! I’m 7days post op x

Don’t worry bout the dressing if they get a dribble on Hun, I’m 8 days po and just had my dressings taken off. They said I can shower properly at day 14, try not to worry Hun xx

Fraid so hun no showers till youve seen the nurse! I use to put my head of the bath and wash my hair 1st!!!! then have a shallow bath! I use to hold a dry towel or flannel over my boobs to catch any dribbles!!!! only 3 days left hun!!! i wasnt allowed to shower for 2 weeks either!!!!!!

Its a pain but worth it to lower the risk of infection

I was allowed my first shower yesterday day 14 and it was heaven …. I’ve just been stood in there for about half an hour again … I did the same as Stacie … Washed my hair over the bath then had a shallow bath xx

I’m day 17 and scared to shower so still shallow bathing and stooping over to wash my hair! I knoW I’m a geek) terrified of infection

anchovie i was really scared 2!!! i spoke to my nurse and she said 2 weeks no showering then you need to shower!!!!

because i would of shallow bathed for months!!!! get yourself in the shower tomo it will be fine i promise not showering could end up causing infection anyway!!!!!

My nurse told me too use a baby wash and dry scars with a hair dryer after on A COLD SETTING!!!!!

I’m 15 days post op and still not allowed to shower as incision under left boob not healed so may have infection. I sit in shallow bath then kneel in it and was my hair bent forward. Pain in the bum. Just want to feel clean without the use of baby wipes!!

Haha I have had two very quick showers and I stand with my back to the flow. I doubt I’m clean on exiting. Hairdrier!!!!!???? On our precious stitches!!! What!!! Lol xxx

Oh and because of my hypochondria and paranoia I was given waterproof plasters on my stitches haha I haven’t heard of any one else onhere as pathetic as me!!!!

I was told at my pre op with the nurse that I could shower because the dressings would be waterproof ones and just to dry them both with separate clean towels so I don’t cause an infection. My ops not until Sept.
