I’m going into hospital tomorrow for surgery because I have a displaced fracture in my arm and leg. My other arm and leg are fine, but at the moment I can only get around in a wheelchair because I can’t use crutches due to my broken arm. I’m wondering if there’s any way I could have a proper shower or bath before my surgery, especially once I’m admitted to hospital. I’m also worried about how I’ll manage washing and taking care of myself afterwards. I’m still getting used to doing everything with just one hand, and honestly, I’m not very good at it yet! I’m a very independent person and really don’t like having to rely on other people or ask for help, so this whole situation is quite difficult for me. For those of you who have been through something similar: how did you manage personal hygiene and everyday things in hospital? Any practical tips would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!   submitted by   /u/Crafty_Ear_2616 [link]   [comments]
