I feel like I'm going to die.......not literally, but I'm so itchy I think I'm going to go insane and then die.  Mom always talked about how the tape of the bandages made her itch and now I know it's genetic.  I can't stand the tape, gauze, sutchers, or whatever it is!!!!!!!!!!!  AHHHHH!!!!  The only relief I get is when I am asleep, but I can't sleep forever.  So, now I'm praying the itching will stop or that I can ignore it.  It's making me unhappy so I guess I'm choosing to be unhappy today.  Darn itching!  Stop!  AHHH!!!!  On the bright side......I can't think of anything.  I will be okay.  I will be okay.  I will be okay.  Maybe if I say it over and over again I'll believe it.  Today I hate this.  Enough of my pity party.  Good-bye.  Oh, I guess I can think of a positive.  I read somewhere that the itching is an indication that the wound is healing and that it will go away.  I need to remember that.  :)
