Two weeks since the operation and this means that the dressing came off! Well, Mr Gin gingerly peeled the amazing water proof dressing to reveal… Do you really want to know? Skip the next paragraph if you don’t want to.
… A surprisingly clean cut. The old scar is gone, and the cut is not the same as I have seen on line, not a clean curve. A bit more angular and not as far into my bum muscles as I thought. It looks clean, a bit scabby and a couple of points I suspect will keloid later as well as the ball point marks left by the surgeon.

The other two, is the second shower in my own bathroom. I bought a bath board and we use it make transfer into our shower over the bath easy. I cannot lift my leg over the bath edge. Mr Gin, again a hero and helps get my leg into the bath and makes sure that I'm safe and not going to attempt my own stunts.
A shower is a wonderful thing, I have been ‘bird bathing’ for a week and a half and not really felt that clean. Washing my hair! Dandruff be gone! Even though I can’t shower on my own, mainly this is all of us being careful and it has to be at night, I don’t care! Shower!
My Mum has also passed the two week mark of her stay, I will be forever grateful for her coming over!
I remember my first real shower
ReplyDeleteafter the spinal surgery. Heaven. :)
First *unaided* shower was the one for me. It was after over a month.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your continuing recovery. May it be as smooth as possible.
