Wear surgical binder to help you move around. Yes it still hurts but helped alot. 1st day no brush teeth. Nurse give mouth wash. Face ask nurse give a bowl of water wash with your cleanser at bed. If not facial wipes

I don't! I just wipe my face with wet wipes to feel better! From second day onwards once the catheter is off then I got up slowly to brush teeth, wash face and use the toilet.

the nurse will help to wipe your body, but I haven't brush my teeth the whole day bcos too painful to walk (2nd day)

I dont think you do hahaha. Maybe wash face will instead use cleansing wipe and such

uese wet wipes, or a nice warm towel
