well i went to get my stiches out and my dressing changed and i must admit i was totally dreading it on two counts, one that i can still remember the pain 16 years ago having stitches removed and secondly id see the results from last weeks ops.
Before i knew it the stiches in my face had been removed without any pain i couldnt believe it didnt feel a thing then she did my toe and and although red and inflamed it is healing well except it was the first time id seen it and it made me retch as it was a lot deeper than i thought it would have been so going back next week for the dressings again and hopefully to get the biopsy results.
so now feeling rather silly for getting into such a state over the stiches coming out when there was no need to panic. the scar on my face is about 2 inches and currently red and swollen but better than i thought it would be no frakinstein at all lol
just hope the biopsy results are good next week
good luck in all your battles karenxxx
