Re: I willl not be able to shower or bath for 5 to 7 days

I'm sorry, but you made yourself sound not  ridiculous, but more like ignorant and I am sure you aren't,

However ,if your nose runs, you blow it, if you pee, you wipe it, and so on/

I would rather have given you well wishes on your recovery, than explain , like others did, how to take a wash cloth to wash your arm pits.

 

I hope you do feel better both mentally and physically very soon.

I was in the hospital for 40 days last year after a major surgery that went horribly wrong.  

 

They gave me "Secura".  It is a "no rinse" cleaning spray and couldn't be easier.

I put it on a damp washcloth and use over entire body.  It's especially good for your personal parts.  After I got home I still could not shower for months and so I continued to use Secura.  I purchase it on Amazon.

 

I have very sensitive skin and never had a reaction which I have to others as I'm allergic to aloe.  It works like a dream and you will be  so fresh and clean.

 

I'm going to Europe for 3 weeks and am bringing a bottle with me.  It's great and I prefer it to soap.  Good luck!

 

Here's a pic:  I buy the 3 pack.

@Pink123    I don't see this product or anything related to it on Amazon.

Re: I willl not be able to shower or bath for 5 to 7 days

Honestly, if I was going to have a surgery on my back and knew I'd be able to step into the shower still--I would.  Just to be washed from below bandage down (and legs shaved!).

 

If you don't have a hand held sprayer (and I don't), I'd get one.  If you can't bend, have your husband help you.

 

I would make sure I was squeaky clean on my way to surgery, too.  Some people may roll out of bed early and just head to the hospital without showering, I definitely would shower until the 11th hour!  (I'd probably show up at the hospital still dripping wet!)

 

If a shower isn't an option because of your mobility, I'd opt for soap and warm water in a brand new dishpan.  Using wipes just doesn't sit well with me and I don't even know why.  Soap and warm water.  Ask the husband to change it several times.  Luckily it will be warm and you won't freeze taking a sponge bath like maybe in the dead of winter.

 

Good luck and prayers to you for your upcoming procedure.  Please let us know how you're doing when you can.

@monicakm    Thanks, I found it but you can't just use "Secura".

@Kachina, @monicakm  thanks for your help.  On Amazon I'm sure there are many names for a product until you name the category.  I was at a top hospital in the US twice this past year and believe me it's the best.  I will probably use it for many years to come and eliminate dove soap and just use this. 

 

My rash prone skin is clear.  I guess sometimes very bad situations turns to good in some faction thank God.

@monicakm  Yes Patrick Mahomes did indeed tie the knot.

I'm glad you ordered a bottle to try.  You might smell a bit of cinammon but it is not offensive and dissapates quickly. 

 

I'm going to Spain, Austria and Germany.  I just want to exercise now as much as I can and be at my best healthwise phyisically for the trip after this past  year.

 

Never give up.

@Shanus ...really? And to think I adore ya. 


@LizzieInSRQ   Ask yourself why would anyone be so rude as to post such things? Then get a grip and be more understanding!  OP is probably like I was and wants to be as prepared as she can be!  


Apparently ive miscomprehended your post. I thought you were saying to quit posting to the OP needing attention. 

Apparently after reading a few times over you were saying quit posting that the OP needs attention.

 

My apologies and thank you for sticking up for her.


@LizzieInSRQ  - Until I read this post, I also thought @Pook  was telling everything to stop posting because the OP just wanted attention.  It's easy to misinterpret that first sentence!
