Forgot to mention as the others did, I, too was sitting in a chair with nursing assistance . It felt great, but I was exhausted after and was instructed to go back to my bed and have a nap. This was partly because I was still very short of breath and my hemoglobin was very low.Hi Angel,
My first shower was about 6 days after surgery. Boy, did it feel great. It was one of the 'exercise' milestones you had to reach to be discharged. I definitely liked that one!
