I didn't want to start a new bathing/showering topic since a search of the site reveals it's been gone over and over.
I tried out my kiddie-sized shower cap today because dammit I wanted a shower before pouch change day. It was not a disaster but not quite what I'm looking for. The bottom of the shower cap filled up with water, had to empty it a few times. Actually said screw it towards the end and just took it off. My pouch was just damp not soaked, I did exactly what has been said above before I read it, I dried it with a towel then hit it with a hairdryer on low for less than a minute. It's not totally dry but also not wet enough to bother me. I'll try and adjust the caps I've already purchased (I used the panda today) and see if I can get it working better and await SallyNBC's review of the shower belt thingy before I go spending any more money.
All in all, it was a win. I'm clean and happy and honestly the picc line is more of a pain to protect from water.
Before I got so ill, I needed the picc line and ostomy. I was a once a day, sometimes twice a day shower guy. Needless to say, I haven't been that guy for months. Now that the fear has abated, I know I'll at least be a 4 times a week guy opposed to my current 2 only on pouch change day guy.
Baby steps, but it is progress. Weight has held steady with a 1lb drop since last week, WAY better than the yo-yo with the hydrations and just fumbling along gain 20 lose 10 cycle I was in.
Now I'm just rambling. Speaking of rambling, anyone remember the car make Rambler? I like those cars. Mom had one when I was very young!
