Well I'm dumb!  You can't take a shower while you have the drains in?  I hope somebody fills me in w/all the details, only 2 1/2 weeks from surgery for me!

Cyndi,

No, you aren't dumb - not all surgeons have the same requirements.  Check with your PS - I was allowed to shower while I still had drains after my TT.  I just wore a lanyard around my neck and pinned the drains to it while showering.   I'm so glad I didn't have to wait, because I had one of my drains for almost three weeks!
