Makes sense but I guess an in-hospital shower would delay the “assembly line.”
Showering before the hospital is routine these days. I have done the same routine for my last 4 surgeries (open-heart, bilateral mastectomy, reconstruction, hysterectomy). But my chlorhexidine gluconate soap was liquid.
If you don’t mind a suggestion…get a couple of comfortable wrap-around robes and prepare to hang “au naturel” for a while at home. Sliding underwear over a wounded, bandaged leg isn’t optimal. I arranged something similar for my surgeries.
Wishing you excellent results, rapid healing and no complications. My pleural effusion complication after my aortic valve/ aorta replacement kept me hospitalized for 9 days.
