I went swimming against my doctors and nurses orders. The first couple times I swam, I wrapped Glad cling wrap around my mid section so water wouldnt get in. It worked ok but didnt block the water completely. So whenever I wanted to swim, I would just go without the wrap and take a couple quick laps.
