So, I tend to have bed baths at the moment and we wash my hair over the bath once a week. (or at the hairdressers - but as I'm in a solid cervical collar it's harder to wash it properly without me flopping everywhere.) I am currently waiting for my hoists to be put in and then I will hopefully be able to get in the bath...

With showers especially the pain is like... being stabbed and set on fire millions of times from each drop. We did come up with holding a sponge in front of the shower head to reduce the dripping but it is still so hard...
