be guided by your consultant. You still are not really allowed to bend it more than 90 degrees for ever (although i was bending more than that after 4 mnths) i still havent ad a bath and its been 18 months

so people who don't have baths in their houses smell?
people who cant get in and out of the bath smell?
thanks a lot!
Thanks for your post bednobs. My mum has had 3 replacements in total, the last one nearly killed her. She hasn't actually been in the bath more than a couple of times in 4 years. I thought she was exaggerating her inability and being overfearful but I see this is not just her.

You are right too. A bath isn't necessary to keep clean, tho I wish I could help her enjoy one again.

Keeping clean is no problem - I have a separate shower room but you can't lie back and soak and read a book in a shower...!

personally i just wouldn't want to risk it, although sometimes i long to!
However, i am of a younger generation (33) i suppose, who are probably happier with a shower
