Can I go get a pedi just 3 days after surgery? My mom said she was told she couldn't shave her legs after surgery for some reason, does this sound correct?

Of course you can, you are no more at risk than anyone else. If it's a dirty filthy spa I'd advise against it for anyone.

You're fine for a pedi. They may have told your mom not to shave her legs after surgery right away because anesthesia may take awhile to wear off. When you shave your legs, your head is generally at an odd angle that might make you dizzy, particularly if you're standing on one leg, in a slippery shower, while trying to shave the other leg. It may have been mostly as a precaution to ensure she didn't end up falling.

won't it be great when we can reach our feet well enough to give ourselves a pedi??? i can't wait!

Yes of course you can, go enjoy your pedi!!!!

I think if you are comfortable sitting with your legs bent like that in the pedi chair, then go enjoy yourself!

She might have been told to hold off if she was on blood thinners.
