Surgery Cuts....
I showered in the hospital the day after surgery. The more you are up and moving, the better. I would suggest a shower chair for when you get home. I find mine very helpful. A nurse will help you with a shower unless you have someone with you you prefer to have help you. I sat in the shower with a hand held shower head. It was wonderful. I was told to gently cleanse the surgery area with soap and water, including the drain area. When I got out and dried off they changed the rest of my dressings. Dressings are light except for my drain. It is heavy gauze to catch the drainage from around the tube. The rest of my incisions were only covered with bandaids.
Good luck.
