I love this post title!! I'm so happy you're feeling good!! That first time you feel so good is amazing!! :) As far as your gauze and tape, I'd say change it or remove them (as my doctor told me if they got wet) because you don't want your incisions to be sitting there with a moist gauze (but I'm not a medical professional, this is just my opinion) If you're concerned, give your doctor a call, it can't hurt to be sure.

Best of luck and I hope your days get brighter and brighter, Rocky ;)

My doctor said the same thing... double check with the doctor.

My doc said the same thing....let them fall off on their own and then there is no need to replace them.
