My new scar

My operation was just ten days ago but today I had the stitches taken off!  The district nurse first came on Monday to change the dressings - I have two as the scar is longer than their longest dressing! They use just paper strips as stitches, butterfly stitches; the same as you probably had at some point in your childhood after some playground accident or other.  It's the weirdest feeling having them removed and I have to admit it made me feel really unwell - there were so many of them too that it took quite some time! All is looking incredibly neat already though and I can take the dressing off for good in a couple of days.   It is even longer than it was before, but I am even more proud of it :)

 

One week on from surgery with paper stitches still on
