@mirsy Yes. End of answer.

Longer version.... it can take up to 2 weeks for the incisions & swelling to calm down.
If you're helping him shower, I found that drying the area with a hair drier on not-too-hot works better than trying to gently use a towel.

Other than that... it just takes lots of rest, gentle movement & time.
You're nearly at the finish line. Doing well.
