I guess I'm feeling a little fuzzy this morning. I want to take a shower and wash my hair
and I remember my doctor said I could do that - he said tomorrow..when you take a shower..
as I was being discharged.. I'm trying to remember what he said about this dressing over my
drain incision. I think he said to take it off- and to be honest it's coming off already on one side
and I can see that some drainage has taken place but- I can't remember if he said to redress it-
or just leave it off exposed to air.
Anyone have suggestions- if I can't recall or find his instructions with my paper work- I will call much later
this morning-
