Two weeks with only bed baths and anyone will start to get a little stinky. A man from occupational health came and fitted a bath/shower board which allows me to swing my leg into the bath without much trouble at all and finally I managed to get clean.
Now, due to the dressing around the pin sites, your only allowed to get your leg wet once a week, at this point the dressings have to be cleaned, this is done with 70% alcohol solution and once again isn't the best job for poor long suffering Natalie and its not my favourite activity either however it went off without a hitch and a great deal less pain then when the pin site nurse did it!
