I always put the new one on after a shower in the morning. It's useful to know what may happen if I forget!

I remember when I was on the Fentanyl patch (3day rotation ) and actually felt so bad one day , that I just barged into the Drs surgery and demande attention.

Only when I got home I realised that I had not changed the patch.

Had to make an abject and grovelling apology to the Surgery team. They had a good laugh.

The serious part is that the Dr never picked up on the possibility of that, as a cause of my distress.😢

There is a moral in there somewhere!😅😆
