Hi Bel
I took a packet of Aloe vera wipes into Hosp with me and they did come in very handy. I know the feeling well of just not being able to shower yet wanting to feel 'clean' so used the wipes instead. Not as good as a shower but did make me feel better. Also used sorbolene & goats milk cream after to moisturise as the air was just so drying . . . up to you. Just do what you have to do in order to make yourself feel better and keep positive.
Also I bought a bolster type pillow to 'prop' my arm up when in bed - again, whatever helps you. I think its a 'cush'? Very soft & squishy and doesn't hurt the scar.
Again, good luck, keep postive & enjoy every day :)
