How soon after surgery can I take a soaking bath?

I took my first one 9 days after surgery. All my incisions where closed and pretty much healed. Of course I completely Bleached my bath tub first...germ phobia lol!

Thanks! My incisions are all healed. I just miss soaking in the tub... It is so cold here in MN!

Oh I know it's cold here in Missouri too. Hot baths are the best!

I am near Rolla about an hour and half east of Springfield

I'm in a suburb of Minneapolis. We had our first snowfall one week ago and I was so glad to be home that week. I am home again this week - temps are still in the teens. It stinks because I don't want to go outside to walk. May have to go to Mall of America to do 3+ miles of walking - and a little shopping!!

We got our first snowfall here today! I am freezing would love a long soak in a tub also. Haven't had my surgery yet but my knees won't allow the getting out of the bath part!

@@emilees_mom Oh then we are pretty much neighbors

@@Go4itLori I do travel nursing and I can tell you MN is THE coldest state I have ever drove through! I was on my way to WI and stopped for gas.....ridiculously cold! WI was cold too just not as. My next contract was Hawaii...it's not cold there lol!

I was told that I could take a bath 2 weeks after surgery.

I waited a month but I was chicken.
