When can I have a proper bath?

I seen my nurse on Saturday and she told me I can take my plasters off on Wednesday, and once my plasters are off I can have a shower. She didn’t say anything about baths though, what advise was you ladies given in reguards to having deep bubble baths? I miss them so much!!

Me to ???? She told me only showers not to soak the cuts so I think after 6 week check xx

You can have a shallow bath Hun your not too soak your scars so just keep the top half out of the water xx

Thankyou both for your help 🙂 im so small I can’t lay in the bath without my full body going under haha, I’ll stick to showers until 6 weeks then ask for the all clear at the 6 week check xxxx

I was wondering this yesterday! I finally got to shower yesterday it was sooo good! Bring on the proper baths in a months time Im counting down the days x

Hi how soon can you shower and did you manage to wash your hair ok? Im really worrying about not being able to wash my hair as I live alone – thanks for any advice x

I was able to shower on day 8, and I was able I wash my hair then too :). The first 5 days or so are the hardest if you live alone, I’d recommend booking yourself at the hairdressers then to have a nice wash and blow dry, it’ll make you feel so much better xx

i washed my hair 2 days after over the sink was a bit sore but not as bad as i thought it would be Xx
