Yay! Every time I've been unable to take a shower for awhile (surgery, whatever), when I'm finally able to take one again I always think that a shower is the most underrated pleasure in the world and I'll never take them for granted again ... but of course I do. Sponge baths probably keep one sanitary enough, but I don't feel clean with sponge baths.
I don't even feel clean with a real bath. I haven't taken a bath in many years -- I can't get up once I'm lying in the tub, so I don't dare get into a regular-size bathtub. But when I did take baths, I didn't feel clean after soaking in water filled with the stuff that soaked off ... the dead skin cells and other icky old debris. So after a pleasant soak I'd let the water out and take a quick shower! (Besides, I've never been able to wash my hair in a bath ... I have to have a shower for that, so if I'm going to run the shower I might as well wash in it, too. :-) )
