I took my first shower last night! My nurse said keep my back to the water spray at all times. I was nervous too so I filled the tub half way bathed off real good then ran the shower long enough to wash my hair and that's it. They said to pat my incisions lightly with a towel and let them air dry before putting my bra back on.

The only bandaging I have is the tape across my incisions, I left it alone and it's still stuck good

Well i have just about everything together and ready to go. My wonderful hubby is taking me friday and my kids will b staying with our friends for the whole weekend! Ive said it before and i will say it again,i eithet have to be in hospital Or have surgery to get a weekend to myself!!! Lol! Jk,my kids are awesome,they are 14,10,7 and 6. I think my 14 yr old Son is more nervous than I am!! Still deciding on the lift. I am very confident in Dr. Heil,he is a very soft spoken gentle doc and I trust him 150% he comes highly recommended. I am just very very worried about the scarring. Oh,btw,i am having 500cc silicone mod plus placed under the muscle. The other reason for my concerns with the lift is the added time it takes to heal,i have four kids. And hubby will be with me fri thru mon then back to work tues. So i will have to get my kids up and off to school. Anyone out there have same issues,and if so how did it go? I would love a docs opinion on if a donut lift would do the job or if i can get away with out a lift! Plz help,my surgery is paid for and non refundable so theres no turning back!!!!!
