You are right about wet to dry being torture, at one point I was doing it from ear to ear on my husband, basically, since last Oct, until a couple weeks ago........that was all the nursing care we needed with the reconstructive surgery............believe it or not, with the first skin graft that took forever to heal, we ended up with some little known hemorroidal ointment, that the pharmacist kept behind the counter........but it really helped and we used on the second graft too.........so whatever works!!!!!!!
