Silly Question

I had a TAH and RSO and took a shower the morning after surgery. It was like a whole new world. I just wanted to get fresh and I felt fantastic afterwards. The other ladies are right, the nurses will help you and a chair in the shower is excellent.

I have the same worry...but for different hair reasons! I have medium length, very thick, naturally curly hair. I do wash it every day except sometimes on weekends if I'm not leaving the house. I'm sure I will look like a witch after day one. But...I don't think I'll really care! During my ablation in February I had to take the barrette I usually use out since they were using a laser...talk about a mess!

First to Bizet woman...You are so funny.... I am thinking that the attitude you had is the one I want! Except I don't know if I will be that way. I am fanatical it seems all the time.... too clean about everything! (That is not always good!)I love reading your posts! Otessa, So guess what??? I have naturally curly hair too, and wash it everyday....But I have an idea for you, which I am going to implemnent the day of surgery. Sometimes I do straighten my hair with a ceramic iron, and it comes pin straight. I will do it before my surgery. It usually stays for 2 days, and my hair (being curly) is certainly not oily... so I figure it should be Ok till I get home the day after surgery..

My hair......I don't know what I was thinking...guess I didn't give a hoot! I'm super tall (6'2") and have a lot of curly long hair. I must have done this during the morphine party...took out the ponytail holder that was digging a hole in the back of my head and styled it into 2 long braids with a part in the middle. Looked like a man in bad drag! Along with my hopital gown and the short fuzzy hairs sticking straight out, the stupid doped-up look on my face...I looked like I had escaped from a different ward in the hospital, if you know what I mean. I would walk past my mirror and stop to hold my stomach and laugh. Never underestimate our ability to amuse ourselves.

LOL You are so right.... Glad no one was standing by with a camera right????????
