My stitches are supposed to dissolve, but instead came loose/untied and they had been bothering me all weekend!
While I was at Target yesterday I picked up some manicure scissors and alcohol wipes with full intention of taking them out myself.
As soon as I got into my car I busted the goods out, along with my tweezers set I keep in my make up case. I proceeded to pull down my visor mirror, clean off my 'tools' and take out what stitches I could see.
I guess this was weird enough, because the man who pulled in next to me gave me the weirdest look. I think that I am ready to be a surgical intern...or at least on the cast of Grey's Anatomy, don't ya think? ☺
Not to worry, I didn't take them ALL out...just the loose ones that were bothering me. I am not
completely stupid...I'd seen my Dad take out stitches before. That ought to count for some clinical hours, right? ☺
I have a post op appointment tomorrow to have things checked out and I am a little hesitant to reveal my parking lot 'procedure' to the Doc when he inquires about my missing stitches.
Hmm...how can I put a spin on that??
