Bless you, I just got out of ICU, and the nursing care was amazing. I thought I was in heaven. Except when it came time to remove the glue patches for the heart monitor. Took some time because my skin was really sensative, at least they let me do it and didn't rip them off. I think it took me two days in the normal part of the hospital to work them off.
Oh, I'm glad you had a nice nurse who let you pull off your own stickies! Put baby oil on the sites, if you have any residual sticky it will help soften it and it will wash off easier. I hope you are doing well now.
