Follow up on finger

Okay so showing everyone my right middle finger never gets old.  I have my stitches out now, which was a painful process.  I had a total of five stitches.  Three of them came out pretty easily.  One didn't have long enough tails to pull and get under the loop so there was a bit of painful digging there to get that one out.  The hardest by far though was the stitch in the middle.  The knot was covered up and needed lots of tugging to get it up.  When he went to cut the loop, the only got the knot, it opened up but then sank back into my finger.  Well not to get to graphic, it took some team work to get that stitch out.  I had the scaple trying to lift up an end while the Doc tried to grab it while looking through the ... well the thing they check your nose and ears.  And now, it seems like one of the stitch holes has a bit on infection so I'm waiting on a call back from the nurse to see if they want me to come in.

Stitches still in

Well I went to get my stitches out this morning at the VA hospital.  For those of you that don't know I had about a half an inch taken off of my right middle finger.  Car door a long time ago didn't heal right... so anyway I had the end cleaned up a bit.  Well guess it needs a little more healing.  The fact that I keep bumping it doesn't help either. 

It really is amazing how much you use the tips of your fingers and how often you impact them on one thing or another.  My mischievous nature and need to fiddle with things doesn't help either.  On a good not it doesn't hurt no where near as much as it initially did.  Itches mostly and I hear that's a good sign regardless of how miserable it makes me.
