O.K., you have my permission to laugh or shake your head or whatever as you read this post, but I need help here. I am pretty sure I put John's 1st patch on wrong and I not sure about the one that I applied today. I can't see all the little 'protective" plastic strips very well. From what I can tell, there is one big one on one side of the patch and on the other side there is a split cover. Will someone walk me through the actual application - and how to tell which side of the patch has the gel without sticking your finger on it ? [I said you could laugh} Amy
