dimity_blueAs you guys might remember, I have 4 layer compression bandages on my lower legs. The top layer of my compression is a bandage called Koflex that's brown and rather sticky. The nurses usually cover my legs with a layer of comfi-gauze (a thin, stretchy gauze bandage) to stop my legs from sticking together (Koflex to Koflex) when I'm in bed.
The districtnurse didn't have any spare on when she came on Tuesday, so she put on a layer of Surgi-fix (a stretchy, crisscrossed mesh) instead. It didn't work. I really struggled to move my legs in bed on Tuesday night so I got the carers to duct-tape a pillowcase over one leg last night. That worked!
Today, all my carers have been saying, "Is that a pillowcase? Why is it duct-taped to your leg?"
