Washing after surgery

My surgery is exactly 4 weeks away (YAY)! I'm wondering if I'll be able to take a shower. I don't expect that I'll be able to take a bath until my incisions have healed, but hopefully I'll be able to shower.

I am sooooo glad someone asked this question!!!

Yep. Took a shower the next day. Incisions were covered in superglue or something like that.

I showered next day in the hospital. Got ok for tub bath at 2 weeks after surgeon looked at healing. Told me to wait one more week before swimming.
