Win...

Hey everyone

Today's win was having a shower. I had to ask Mum for help as I was getting tired and Mum washed my hair again.

It's amazing how much a shower makes you feel better

Remember all the things your mum is doing for you, the time will come when the tables will turn and you'll be doing it for her.

Tired but ok

Nothing nicer than squeaky clean skin and hair { or in my case hairy skin ! } remember it well after a long visit in hospital { the dog thanked me after as well }.

Another step done x

Well done, and I'm sure mum was really pleased to help you. Don't forget, you are still her "little girl"!

I still remember my first 'proper' shower after the bypass op last February. I'd been nipping in & out of the shower for a few days with my back to the showerhead almost afraid to get my wound wet. The first time I plucked up the courage to turn around and actually stand there and let the water cascade down my front just felt amazing. I stayed in there so long I must have looked like a prune when I finally stepped out again, but I felt like a million dollars!

Totally agree I was so desperate for one a few days after the op that my lovely nurses got a wheelchair, carried my drips and drains and all the other stuff and helped me have a shower washed my hair and pleated it (I have very curly hair), I felt so much better. I will never forget their kindness. I hope your recovery goes well. Take care char x

Congratulations, You! That was indeed a win!

On the other hand, I just bought a product called Scrubzz to have on hand in case a problem occurs. These are 8 inch by 8 inch sheets that when 1-2 tablespoons of water is added begin to suds up and allow one to have a wash up. You don’t have to rinse and no sticky residue. Not as good as a real shower, but could be very handy when one is feeling really weak after a HA or after surgery.

Again, keep making the wins! Each one counts.

Happy Easter!

hi. My husband had to wash my hair for a few weeks after my ohs, it drove me mad but I was grateful that he did it. He’s a very kind man but I think that because I complained so much he might have purposely let the water go down the back of my neck a few times!! While I was by in hospital I couldn’t wash my hair properly for nearly 2 weeks and it drove me crazy. There’s no better feeling than clean hair. Xx
