I got stitches last night.
They are supposed to come out in 4 weeks. It is not convenient for me as the date falls exactly on the same day I board a boat. I was up until 2 a.m. Googling "How to Remove Your Own Stitches". Frankly, I also think it is moronic to pay $50 for an office visit so the doctor can remove them. Seems like a waste of $$. Plenty of people have removed their own stitches just fine with a little help from another person. I know I could do this. Some of them are on my face, though. That part is kind of important to me. I really wouldn't want to screw up my face. If it was a less obvious place, I wouldn't even think twice, I'd just do it. I'm really bummed they didn't use glue or dissolvable stitches. They are big, ugly black Frankenstein stitches.
Have you ever removed your own stitches?
