Had my wound cleaned etc today (I was glued).  Nurse said it was lovely and clean and I can now shower. Here's the problem, I only have a shower over the bath.  I have a loan bath board and was wondering how anyone got on with a board. The thought of showering etc, feels like heaven.  Thanks. Fantastic site

    Hi again at first I was using the sink for a "Scouse Bath" which is really a wash down easy to do and risk free, and you just need someone else to do your back for you.

    Hair washing was easy...Just a damp flannel as I dont have much....cheesygrin

    Have your grabber handy incase you cant reach a towell.
