District Nurse Kathy has just been. She didn't disturb the dressing - just me. Staples start coming out tomorrow, take some analgesia at 8.30 and be on the bed (usually dressings done in the chair). I told her I might be out, she valiantly tried to reassure me but I have never liked them, even in other people. It is also the last chance for the patients to get revenge for all the pain I have subjected them to over the years.
