Hi everyone, It's been a week since my operation and I must say it hasn't been as bad as I had imagined. Travelling between 3 hospitals during rush hour traffic was a challenge!
I'm sure this question will have been asked before, so apologies in advance. I want to know when to remove my oiter dressings. I'm sure my BCN said 7-10 days (I have to remove them myself). When did you remove yours?
Thank you x
