Well we got to the
hospital yesterday. I’ve now got 68 patches stuck on my back. I return later in
the week to have them removed & my back inspected.
The nurse is
certainly right about one thing. You can’t forget you have the patches on. The
muscles of my back feel as though they’re held in some sort of corset, unable
to stretch & move in the normal way. It also feel as though my back is unable
to breath & is rather sweaty.
As for any reaction
I’m not sure. I’ve got the odd itch, the odd ache, the odd hot patch, but are
they just in my mind because I’m so aware the patches are on? So far there’s
none that is so unbearable it has to be removed immediately. We’ll find out the
results when the patches are removed.
The Fox will have
that unenviable job. Having worried that I would have an immediate overwhelming
reaction, we’re now worried that when all this tape & patches are taken
off, my skin will have blistered underneath & a great area of skin comes
off with the patches, as happened when I used hyperfix on my knees.
We’ll just have to
wait & see. Meanwhile I move around gingerly, feeling as though my whole
back is being drawn into a particular unnatural position.
