UPDATE

I was lucky enough to win my R-ball games last night so today I play in the finals. I still had the steri strips on my incision so Garn encouraged me to pull them off even though the Dr said to wait til they come off on their own. The ones that came off easily were in the area where the skin had closed off. The ones that I had to force off still had a gap in the skin. I found some steri strip tape in our medicine supply box so I reapplied the strips where the skin was not quite closed yet. Next time I think I'll heed Drs. orders!
