[QUOTE="LittleSue, post: 204992, member: 6295"] Had my first shower while using the loan pump today. I disconnected, but left the pump running as instructed. When they say remove the pump, is it OK to keep it in the bathroom, or should I put it in another room to avoid high humidity? My bathroom doesn't get too much condensation as there's an extractor or when its warm enough I open the window. When I'm in the shower longer, to wash my hair the windows mist up, but not enough to make drops to run down the window. If I need to leave it in the bedroom I'll have to make space in a drawer - my cats have chewed the radio aerial so the tubing might be at risk if left unattended :roll: And... if you're going to put the little cover back on the set while showering, where do you keep it between times? Could get a sterile specimen pot from the nurse, but is that necessary? That's assuming I don't drop them on the floor like I did yesterday :oops: [/QUOTE]
