Hey @lizzie 🙂
I was allowed to shower as soon as I had my dressings taken off and incisions checked on day 7. You can’t get soap on the incisions but you can let water run over them 🙂
Also you can have baths but if you haven’t had your 1 week check you can only have your bottom half in the water and if you are past 7 days then you still have to make sure not to get soap or soapy water on your incisions.
Wipes were easiest for me 🙂 I went through so many packets lol. The shaving was the hardest for me because I couldn’t lift my arms up! But I managed to lift my arms enough to shave them on day 8 and it’s getting easier every day 🙂
I hope this has helped and good luck with your recovery 🙂 xx
