He did it! He peeled the pressure dressing off.

What a stubborn piece of plastic!

We have tried for several days to remove the dressring and we still have a couple of days worth of work, not all of it is removed. I got the baby oil and he started applying it and massaging the area under the plastic. Some of the lower part came loose but he said it hurt when he pulled it. He did try pulling and pulling at his own pace. I think we have three more days of work at his pace.

The thing is that the patch is rather large and the adhesive very persistant. Now he is pulling at the only stitch he has and I told him to leave it alone ir it will get infected but he cannot help himself. He calls it the "piece of yarn" and he wants it out of his chest.

I told him to go after the plastic and not the yarn. Oh the drama of the bandage, I think this episode couldn't go without a BANG!
