OK y'all. Much has been written right here in our little slice of heaven about getting into pools and hot tubs post surgery!

I was cleared for full work-outs with weights at my 4 week check-up. My incisions are healed, scabs gone, bruises almost gone. We discussed water aerobics. She seemed to like the idea of them...

But! I forgot to ask her about getting in a hot tub. Derp! Next weekend I will be 5 1/2 weeks post op. Do you think it will be safe to get in a hot tub? It's privately owned rather than public. I don't want my wounds to re-open or get a bunch of grahdoo growing in them. God wouldn't it be aweful to be sitting there and look down and like a zombie, we're all sitting around in my human post-op meat soup? Buzz kill. Am I right?

I was cleared to do anything[emoji12] as long as my scars are healed.
And I was cleared at 8 weeks in regards to lifting more than ten pounds.
Enjoy your soaker.

Thanks!! Yeah, on the lifting weights part, I think I'm gonna hold off. But who am I kidding? I only lift 3lb free weights right now. And it will prolly be about 8 weeks before I can get back to PT anyway. So thank you for the confirmation my friend!!
