At Bernadette’s last dressing change the nurse took an hour just to get the dressing off and at one point she said, “Oh how I wish this ‘Remove’ (adhesive remover) came in a bottle.” She only had small packages of little pads with the Remove on them. It was an extremely slow process with many many tears.
This week I just so happen to be at our local pharmacy in Sorrento and low and behold what did I find? A bottle of “Remove”!!! I didn’t hesitate to buy it even though I had over 50 packages of “Remove” at home.
Tonight Bernadette is happy to report that her dressing change went off without any hitches or tears!!!! It was amazing. I just poured the “Remove” on the dressing and let it soak in for half an hour while we all watched “How to Train Your Dragon 2”. Then I was able to literally peal it off without any discomfort. It was totally amazing. Bernadette was much relieved that it didn’t hurt except a tiny bit.
Unfortunately Bernadette had her roughest day since she’s been home. She was in a lot of pain and no mobility at all. But it ended on a high note. She enjoyed the family movie, was able to thoroughly enjoy TWO pieces of the cheese cake she helped Johanna make last night, and now she won’t spend the next week dreading her next dressing change. Finding that bottle of Remove was a great blessing! God is good!

Hi Bernadette. Hope you are having a good day today. Here is your joke for the day…….ready?……. A group of tomatoes went out for a walk,. The littlest tomatoe started to lag behind. The biggest tomatoe went back to the little tomatoe and stomped on it. ” Ketchup” it said. I know, I know, its a groaner!……….but it still made you smile! Sending you a prayer hug. Virginia
