Yeah, i got deeply freaked out by Maddy’s burn the day it had wept so badly that EVERYTHING had stuck to it. It was gross.

Helen, you deliver babies, do surgery through places even a postman would consider too small and can slice someone open in moments; you can do a pot!

I hated changing dressings on Aprilia’s burn so you have my deepest sympathy. Can you use either a “WAterGel” dressing (fab for heat burns, no idea if they work for friction but I should think they would) or a Hydrocolloid type one to help the healing? Hydrocolloids don’t seem to stick over the wound so badly and are waterproof without being sweaty We used both on Aprilia and it did make life more comfortable for her.

its a 3/4 round, so I have to cut it off carefully, then redress the wound, then bandage and carefully reslide pot back on and rebandage again. this is why i am worried! the dressing bit is fine!!

no wonder it was a mopey day, I think I’d have needed 100% cuddles too in her situation! Just sending more love your way, I’m sure you’ll be fine with changing the dressings while you’re away. Hope tomorrow’s working day goes quickly for you, Helen.
