Sorry to hear that things didnt change with the doc at your visit,but for my patch covers i remembered my wife had these large tegaderm patches left over from her hip surgery so i have been cutting them to fit over the patch and they work great,thanks for looking out for me though.Well,i have to make it till my next refill and am running a few days short as always,so gotta really stretch a couple of patches out as long as i can,im thinking of wearing one for a day and a half and then take it off until i really need to put it back on,never tried it but i may have to.
