16. I'm a big girl - dressed my wound all by myself

So many steps...I have the cheat sheet taped up in the bathroom. I'm certainly learning a lot about these supplies. I have everything from gloves and sterile saline to Vaseline gauze and Prisma wound cover. I think there are four or five different layers of different things over the area.
Doing it myself gives me some freedom to shower AND to actually see it for myself (it was hard to actually look down and see my chest when the nurse was doing it lol).
I also got to remove the outer covering over my port area. It was optional, but since I bled there just a little, I also gauze-padded that zone.
