I'm not sure if your physician and staff warned you but because you are wearing a compression garment, once you remove it to take a shower.... you MUST MUST MUST lie down for about 5 minutes prior to standing up to allow the blood flow freely....otherwise you can feel dizzy and pass out. Very common but not to be taken lightly. Gosh.... I wish these doctors and staff would stress these things and also giv e post operative instructions to EVERY patient to read. What the heck! Hope you are feeling better. :-)
