It’s been two weeks since my procedure to have the surgical nail removed from my foot, and I went back today to have the stitches removed.
There was a lot more string up inside my scar than I ever guessed. And he had to dig it out. Not exactly pleasant, but overall not too bad at all, compared to some of the stuff I’ve had done to me. It bled a bit, my foot’s sore, and now I’ve got “tape stitches,” those little band-aid things that fall off on their own in about a week. I’ve also got permission to get my foot wet/submerged again, so no more grooming gymnastics in the mornings. I should also stop feeling odd shooting pains like I felt whenever I stretched the stitches. Glee.
And no, I didn’t keep the string.
As a side note, I was surprised just how much surgical twine resembles fishing line. It even feels the same.
