Bunion Surgery

Finally after almost 3 weeks my stitches are OUT! I am very happy with that, even though my foot hurts a lot after getting them out. Dr. L is a good guy but he wasn’t very good at taking stitches out in my opinion; being a nursing student I have learned how to take stitches out and he did not do them the proper way. Also he didn’t really sterilize his equipment properly. When he took the stitches out, he was ripping at my skin so much, it hurt like hell. I was squeezing Steve’s hand so hard I put dents in it. I haven’t had anything that painful for a while. Don’t think stitches are supposed to hurt that much, but anyways.

Because of the pain when they were coming out, I didn’t take any pictures during or after (except for the new dressing after the stitches had come out). I did, however, get lots of good shots of my foot before the stitches came out. And here they are for your viewing pleasure. Click to see them full size.
