[quote=Anonymous]I had to do this for my DH too. Trust me - you can totally step up and do this! And then you have it to lord over him when you need to in the future (only partially kidding!). I thought I'd pass out when the nurse trained me on unpacking the wound, cleansing, etc. But I didn't. And when I had to do it myself, I draped towels on either side, so it seemed more removed from "him", and just a very specific task I needed to complete. FWIW, we did get insurance coverage for home health visits during his recovery. I did the morning and evening wound care, and the visiting nurse came by mid-day. It turned out to be good prep for having to do wound care on our infant, post-op, which I never would have had the strength to do without having gone through this with DH. And, seriously, it's great to pull it out for leverage later on (but only lovingly, and with great humor).[/quote]
