I do love baths and we have a hot tub outside which is a joy. Unfortunately Eddie cannot use it but I soak in the evening when all is settled. I do have Bacitracin and they said just use it if the site is red but I think that your advice is great Christine and I will use it.
My hubby is trying to do some things for himself. He just gets tired and the chemo certainly made this more intense for now. I will continue to post since I love hearing from all of you as well.
Take good care and I will be back soon. You are just such an inspiration to me and I appreciate your prompt responses. It is like having a built in support group.
Stay well. EllenB
