My First Stitches!

[J.W. ●]

After all of these years...I finally had to get stitches the other day caused by a tin can. I about passed out from all of the blood. My dad said, "I dont see how you watch all of those horror movies and just about pass out from seeing that." ...

since you haven\'t gotten stitches before... you don\'t really need to return to the doctor to have them taken out... you can just cut them and pull them out yourself.
I have gotten stitches many many times, and have never made that return visit.

so how many you have there ? i had 87 and 51 staples in my knee when i was 14 caused by an ice skating mishap .

mike,

that was my first and only time i\'ve had stitches out of all the other things that i\'ve done .

Nice looking sutures, you had a good doc. I\'ve never gone to get stitches, should have a few times, but I\'d rather not sit in a hospital for 7 hours, then another 4 when I get in. Gary\'s right, all you need is a small pair of sissors and tweazers, snip the stitch, and pull it out, then soap and water, some antiseptic, and you\'re set.

12 in all...9 in the thumb and 3 in the other finger. I wasnt going to go but it was bleeding so bad I had too. I will probably take them out myself.
