Rub-a-dub-dub, I fit in my tub! NSV
Yes, that's right, my sides don't touch the tub and EVERYTHING gets wet! I waited over 8 weeks to make sure my incisions were okay. What a surprise & such a simple joy to have a real bath for the first time in years.

OMG, I had the EXACT SAME moment 2 nights ago. Had my first bath post surgery and was sitting there thinking "Somethings wrong ... this doesn't feel right." and then I realized there was actually space between me and the sides of the tub (well, width-wise anyway - at 6'3" there's still no extra room length-wise ;) ). I screamed for the BF and then proceeded to start crying. I think that was my first real "This is my new life" moment.
So happy for you ... and US! :)
