No problem Annie- I found that after the freedom of the always in style hospital gown- that a nice over sized t-shirt and pajama bottoms were nice. My incisions were dressed with standard gauze and coverage tape-cleaning after showers with a topical wound cleaner that the hospital sent home. The large incision was left exposed and I had very minor leaking from the staples. (which were taken out last Friday).
I've moved into my regular pants and jeans (11 days post-op) and am doing fine with that.
One other thing you may want to prepare your husband for that doesn't get covered a lot is the post surgical "awakening of the insides".... Gas pain as your bowels begin to wake up from anesthesia and pain medication was perhaps the worst of all this.... He must resist the urge to take more pain medication as this will only prolong nature. As he gets up to walk (as they will tell you to do for this) if he can- he must not take the prescribed pain killers- like I said they will only make this more difficult.
Once he's "voided" himself of this he will feel much better.....Much better......
