How to Take a Shower...
...while this thing is attached to your chest by a few feet of tubing:
- Plan ahead. Do you really need to shampoo and condition your hair? Have all bottles in front of you.
- Have someone else put a plastic bag on your chest and duct-tape it securely on from around your neck to your armpit.
- Pretend this is how you usually bathe.
- Hang the chemo pump outside the shower and give yourself plenty of tubing so you don't trip or somehow hang yourself.
- Get in shower and above all, try not to get wet.
- See if you can beat your prior record for fastest shower ever.
- Get out of shower, towel off, and rip duct tape from your neck- slowly. Or you'll be sorry. Ignore angry red marks and sticky tape stuff.
- Rejoice in not being electrocuted!
