I had to crawl over the side and felt foolish for getting the floor all wet. That was my 1st day home after the implants. Geez, talk about weak. From then on it was back to a shower daily. I never imagined I could get that weak. Had that damn thrush too for awhile. It's hard to imagine getting that frail and weak but it happened . Like everything else, it all takes time.
