Removing Dressings.

Found myself on the floor of the shower after trying to remove one of the dressings. My dr said to remove them today in the shower and I felt like I was going to vomit the whole time. Finally got 1 off, saw that there wasn't even a line where the incision was, was impressed, then woke up on the floor. I still have 4 to go. Any suggestions?

I ended up doing it lying on the bed with some zoff dressing remover. Felt light headed when I got up, but didn't hit the deck.

Are u referring to the Lil tapes over the incisions? My surgery was August 13th and they e still on. I scrubbed them with hot soapy water and they r stuck on my wound over dry blood! I couldn't get my self to pull them off

I had big padded dressings and the little tapes. I was trying to remove the big ones, but with all the dried blood they were stuck to the little tapes so I was pulling the whole lot off in one go.
