I get more than my share of minor cuts and scrapes. White medical tape works a lot better for me
than Band-Aids. Tonight I manage a small
cut on the tip of my right middle finger on a dinner knife while doing the
dishes. It was the sort of thing most people
would put a Band-Aid on. They peel right
off my finger while pushing my wheelchair around. A healthy dose of tape stayed on even during
my 50 minute swim tonight and is still on 3 hours later after a fair amount of
hand activity tonight.
I use all kinds of tape: Teflon
tape for when the “feet” come off my computer mouse; duct tape for holding
things together; paper, fabric, and plastic medical tape for wound care; scotch
tape on paper; packing tape on boxes; black electrical tape on wiring; and so
on.
I am grateful to have lots of tape here at my apartment for whatever I
need whenever I need it. Especially when
I am bleeding and need to staunch the flow of my anti-coagulated blood!
