Ouch!! That certainly looks nasty, Marilyn. No wonder you feel like Poo!! Hope things improve for you in a big hurry!!
You poor thing,bad enough your not feeling well without extra complications. Sending good wishes your way for a speedy recovery!
Ouchouchouch! Hope you feel better very soon. Ouch!
Ewww, ouch Marilyn! Those nerve endings will light you up! So sorry to hear this, and hope you're on the mend soon!
Tegaderm is horrible, horrible, stuff! Surgical adhesive remover next time for you, my dear, and may the next time be a loooong way off.
Looks so sore GF.... i think i remember mention of you and adhesives in the past.... cheez,, if i remember that, you'd think the hospital would... i know your used to health challenges and that's not easy... but THIS is really the "pits"... Get well Friend.. am saying some prayers for you and yours...Hugs, B
ouch marilyn, gentle hugs and prayers that you recover quickly
Oh bless your heart, all your going thru and they did that to your arm . I would complain. No sense in them being that rough with you. There has got to be a better way than what they did to you.
Don't remember what my mom when in the hospital for but they bruised her arms all up , was so bad the hospital took pictures of it before they discharged her.
I hope you recover soon and get back to doing the things you love.
There is no excuse for what the nurse did. She/he should have carefully lifted the edges of the dressing with a small alcohol wipe & gently eased the Tegaderm off. It's possible you had a skin reaction to the drsg. itself, which caused the redness. Do you have a Latex allergy? Aquaphor is a good healing ointment (OTC) that might help it heal more quickly. I hope you feel better soon. Take care.
Ouch! I hope you get to feeling better quickly. Your presence is needed in Hamilton in a couple of weeks.
Oh, I'm so sorry this happened to you! Prayers being said
for you to ease the pain and for a speedy recovery!
Prayers for you to feel better!
Ohhh, that doesn't look good:( Hope it gets better soon and I hope you feel better too.
Oh, Marilyn!! that is so awful. I use an ointment that has some numbing stuff in it. OTC antibiotic ointment. Neosporin also works. just don't cover it with anything. Hoping this heals quickly for you. Sending some "Fuzzies" your way.
ouchies that looks so tender. I agree no reason that nurse had to be that rough given your history they should know better. Hoping you heal soon and feel better so you can get to Hamilton and enjoy yourself and tell all us not going about it.
Ouch! Hope you get to feeling better soon.
I know how that hurts...poor Girl! I hope you're up and sewing really soon !
Oh I am so sorry looks so sore. Gentle hugs, warm thoughts hope it gets better soon
Ouch! You are right, there was absolutely no call for ripping it off like that. I'm allergic to adhesive and it really hurts when it takes your skin with it! I hope it heals up quickly and you can get back to sewing.
Oh, yikes! That must hurt, and it looks awful.... I hope it heals quickly....
No. it is a skin tear...I get them often enough on my own to know the difference. Between the lupus, and excessive amounts of prednisone I have been on for various reasons my skin is very thin and fragile. I had warned her ahead of time that my sin tears easily. I will be contacting the hospital today. Not to cause trouble, so that they can possibly put into implementation something that requires them to use an alternative or a better method of removing it. As far as medication, I have a huge jar of silvadene creme that I use. Since skin tears are like burns, they treat mine as such.
I hope you fell better soon.
