I Can Shower

I went to the Clinic on Monday and they looked at my exit site. I can shower now. It was weird at first because I didn't have it covered. I did use tape to anchor the cath because I just didn't want it hanging down to low. I almost freaked when the scabs fell off because it got wet. I can't tell you enough how good it feels. I still have this fear of the big "P" - Peritonitis. I hope and pray I don't catch it.
I just had to share my excitement this week.

That first shower after starting PD is one of the most wonderful experiences in the world! I wanted to stand under that warm water for an hour. I looked like a wrinkled prune when I got out but I didn't care. Some of the simplest things in life are absolutely GRAND!
Congratulations!

I don't think you can catch peritonitis, I think you develop it?

I think I took two or three showers a day the week they told me I could shower again...maybe that's the reason for the drought here in the southeat?
