Day 865 - Stitches...

...are out!

Photos are seriously lacking in imagination and skill of late, sorry!

I did want to record my knee now that the dressings are off and the stitches are out.  It was a tad uncomfortable getting them out.  The nurse said "These are in very tight!" as she kept tugging on them!  No kidding!!!

The wound on the right is healing nicely along with one of the wounds on the left, but the third wound is gaping a little bit (not bleeding) so she put a paper stitch and another dressing over it.

I was a bit sore and I'm also now a wee bit swollen (as you can see) after her prodding and pushing my knee with her hands trying to get the stitches out!  My knee feels a bit delicate now that the stitches are out and the dressings are off but I know that's all just in my head - it feels like there is no protection for me knee now and I'm very protective of it!!!

I'm not a very good patient!
