What I wouldn't do for a nice hot bath!!
Boo hoo feeling very sorry for myself. I'm five weeks now and haven't yet had a bath. My surgeon said not till six weeks due to possible infection and I don't have my check up till next week!
Woke up in the middle of the night last night to a brutal head cold with the stuffy nose and sore throat! I'm still not 100% from surgery and could really use a bath!!!!
I'm so close to that six week mark but would it really be that bad if I didn't follow orders? I don't see how it would hurt. I'm feeling bitter. The weather has changed, it's cool, dreary and looks like rain!
Just needed to vent. Thanks for reading. 💜

Re: What I wouldn't do for a nice hot bath!!!!!
I know exactly how you feel! I miss my long soaks. But is it worth the risk of an infection? Germs hang out in a lot of places and I'm afraid of those tiny buggers. I've seen others say they scrub their tubs and then wipe it with a Clorox wipe each and every time the get in the tub.... Don't know about you, but I certainly don't feel that good! And I'm a little afraid of getting up and down in the tub right now with my stitches. Maybe a steamy shower tonight and call your doctor in the morning for an ok?

Re: What I wouldn't do for a nice hot bath!!
Yeah I'm still not up to scrubbing the tub lol. I'm going for the shower!!! We bought a shower chair so I feel like I can sit in there for a while. It's still warm and soothing. I can probably wait one more week lol. It's been long enough already but can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Enjoy yours too when u get to have it! 😇
