I just had a bath and it was HEAVEN

[Mrs_CakeyBun]

Well had all my dressings and sterristrips removed today and just had a wonderful long awaited bath.....it was total heaven...I was going mad with the itching and this has all but gone now the dressings are all off, im healing really well and have a few little bruses and red lines where the incisions were.....I had a large lump removed from my breast 2 years ago and was massivly bruised and it took ages to heal so Im really chuffed that its healing so well in a few months you will never know the surgery was done( well other than the massive weight loss lol) I have much worse marks from 17yr ago pregnancy strechmarks...so im very happy

ps just before you all freak out I did keep the wounds out of the water I promise xx

Ah, there's nothing like a good hot bath. I was only allowed showers for a few days after my C-section and I felt sooooo grubby.

Awww bless, I bet you're all relaxed now. I'd love a bath but we have'nt got one. Ours is a large shower room which I had to have when I had my 1st stroke but the thought of laying and chilling in the bath really appeals to me. Glad the itchings easing and you sound quite cheerful. Take care xx Gaynor xx

yep 13 days since my last one...sponge baths are just no good for relaxing are they

I had my first post op bath on Sunday and it was total bliss. I had lavender bubbles, my blow up neck pillow and a book. I was in there for about 40 minutes just luxuriating in it. Mostly i take showers but you can't beat a long bath when there's time. Aaaaah.

 

[Mrs_CakeyBun]

I share your joy of a lazy bath
