New Careful with tape. It's not recommended now....
at least not for older people.

My FIL fell a couple of days ago and cracked a couple of ribs. The doctors and nurses said that they don't tape injuries like that now because of the danger of pneumonia. (He's 85.) I guess the rationale is that tape causes shallower breathing and that can accentuate the danger of pneumonia.

Hang in there Andrew!

Cheers,
Scott.
