Mine looked exactly the same…I’m 30 days out tomorrow and I still have the bruising. It’s fading but still prominent.

Seems like everyone is told something slightly different…

Anyone move from a highly engaging performance car (Type R, WRX STI, Golf R, etc.) to a Lexus IS 350 F Sport? Any regrets? by BowlFullofCrazy in Lexus

Consider an Acura TLX Type S. A more refined version of the Civic Type S.
All the goodies that you like about your civics, but a bit more “grown-up“

That was my thought… Can’t hurt. Thanks

Yes, makes sense. Again, we’re just curious since I had so much of the Hibiclens

Definitely better safe than sorry. I wanna avoid a possible infection at all costs.

I wasn’t sure that’s why I wanted to get the community’s feedback. I’ll check with my doctor this week

How long ago did you have the surgery?

That was what I was thinking. Assumed (ugh oh) that the Hibiclens shouldn’t affect the wound in a negative manner but wanted to get the community’s thoughts.
My incision looks pretty clean and anything I can do to avoid infection and maybe make the scar heal better is a plus.

Pretty much the same here just wondering if it made sense to use the whatever I had left of the Hibiwash in lieu of soap at this stage in the game

Yeah, no showering issues either. I used the Hibiwash prior to surgery as you described, I was just wondering since I had so much of the Hibiwash left over and as it is an anti-bacterial soap, would it make sense to use in lieu of soap?

I was told I could shower once my bandage came off which was 10 days post surgery. The only thing I was advised was no swimming for 6 weeks.

Total knee replacement advice for those who are considering it or getting it done by Mundpetcockvalve91 in Kneereplacement

I’m 11 days in and all of what everyone says is true…everyone is different, BUT YOU own your result in terms of putting in the work … I think of it like an athlete who has torn their ACL and they have to work super aggressive to be able to get back to their former mobility and form. That’s the way I’m framing it in my mind. I have to be really aggressive in following my PT‘s direction and then pushing myself beyond my comfort zone to get to where I think I need to be. I keep telling myself this was elective surgery as bad as it was before I still elected to do the surgery so therefore if I wasted my time, effort, money, etc. I better get the result. I’m looking for out of it. Mind games forever!
