[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally, me thinking about something is way worse than doing it. When you're in the moment, you will have no choice. Imagine if you were applying pressure to a life threatening wound (on him, your child, etc.) while you waited for an ambulance. You'd do it, and you wouldn't think twice about it. If that fails, make jokes about yourself, NOT him, to lighten the mood. Best of luck; it can't be worse than your imagination. [/quote]

This exactly.  I'm extremely bad with medical stuff, but somehow find it easier with my family because I'm in my role as caretaker.  I couldn't look at my own stitches, but could take out my kid's.  I think you'll get through it if you focus on the caring aspect of things.[/quote]
This, between kid and DH having had illnesses and surgery, I was able to get thru and do what needed to be done. It's worse THINKING ABOUT IT, than it is in the moment when you just have to 'get 'er done. I would also suggest you get a face mask -- u can get them at CVS. In case the wound smells or there is any chance that you will gag.[/quote]
