Good morning - I am almost 6 weeks post-op - Stitches were removed after 14 days which meant that I could take a shower .... I live alone and honestly, as much as I wanted to, I suddenly was so afraid that I postponed it - Got over this fear (of what???) but still need help with drying off my lower legs and feet .... any tips?  I asked my Physical Therapist and she said she doesn;t know ... nobody ever asked her this question!!!!! .... someone is still coming in 3x a week to help me - kind of silly as I am able to dress myself ....thank you
