The Anonymous Widower

My Annoying Hand

My poor hand doesn’t seem to have the will to allow a plaster to stick on it.

The nurse at the surgery had a go this morning and his effort with steri-strips is coming to grief, as my skin doesn’t seem to offer enough grip for them.

So I’ve now put a solid old fashioned lint patch and zinc-oxide plaster over the wound.  I now cover it with a cotton glove to help stop the plaster being disturbed.

After all it is the Eve of All Saints’ Day.

I suppose the problem is that, as the wound is on the point of the knuckle, any movement stretches the skin. I think I might go to Rymans, if this doesn’t stick and buy a large rubber band.

It is all very annoying!

  1. You can buy shaped plasters that you can put on knuckles, but lint, or even better, Melolin is really good. I hope it heals up quickly
