Thanks for sharing the post, SDC, it was really helpful! I think I am well on my way to being on the mend...
One question remains...how do I shower with the tegaderm? I'm currently sporting a 4x4 on my arm, covered by gauze and fishnet. I removed the dressings before showering this morning, since the wound was still bleeding/weeping quite a bit, but it's looking a lot better already and I want to try to keep the tegaderm on for a few days. But...it seems like it will fly right off in the shower with no gauze to hold it on, and I don't want to get the gauze all wet in the shower.
