@Imaoldhippie.  Run, don't walk, and get yourself some of these Scrubzz for quick baths.

Also I had surgery on my ankle about 25 years ago and found I could tightly tie a good quality plastic bag with a strip of an old bath towel beneath the tie to catch any leaks and my ankle stayed completely dry in the shower.  I used a shower chair

Re: Many Thanks and update on my ankle

I'm so glad it turned out so well after the surgery and that they gave

an injection to numb everything and that you aren't in any pain! That must be a new thing, and a very good thing too! Cheers for the hubby being a good caretaker too! I hope you continue to heal with not much pain!
