I was instructed on my current job that you only wrap up toward the knee. There are other wraps that provide more compression such as profore and Dauerbinde. I am by no means an expert but just thought I'd pass that along.
I'm curious about it, too. My kids are almost in college and I would like to travel but I know that I can't afford to do that with making money along the way. If you find out anything, will you post it? Thanks!
I too was stuck with a needle used by a hepatits c patient. I was tested for about a year and luckily, was told that I am negative for it. It is scary. But your facility should have a testing schedule in place to monitor you for this. Take a deep breath and have faith that most of the tests turn out negative.
