Hi everyone, ")
I pray all is well as you are reading this post. I have a question, after
your surgery were you left a stitch or 2 sticking out from your incision(s)?
If so, what did you do with it? Let me tell you what NOT to do.
OK, so it's been a couple of months since my surgery. As I peek at the six
incisions made on my belly I made sure all were healing fine. After the scar
scabby parts (what a visual huh) went away, I noticed a couple of stitches
that were hanging from 2 of my 6 incisions.
Hmmm, I pulled a little, ouch - wrong answer - then I rubbed a little, darn
things didn't rub off even with some water added. I decided to try cutting
both of them with scissors. One of the piece of stitch was close to a mole I
have that my Mom always called a beauty mark. As I carefully cut on one of
the stitches I felt this awful cut like pain. Hmmm I thought to myself the
stitch has feelings. Um, er, nope -it was my mole! It was bleeding like
crazy! I jumped up and got a a towel and rubbed off the blood. My eyes
opened with amazement, 1/2 my mole was cut off! YIKES - and if any of you
had a mole you accidentally shaved off, like I once did when I was shaving my
legs - I shaved off a mole that was on the back of my leg, you know that they
bleed like you really cut the heck out of them. After a couple of towels and
some peroxide, the bleeding stopped thank God. Now the beauty mark is 1/2
gone, does that mean that the little left of my beauty is gone with the 1/2
mole I accidentally cut off? Needless to say, I'm leaving the other stitch
there till I have my doctor look at it. Now why didn't I cut the incision
that wasn't by my mole? Hmmmmm, another thing that makes you go -
hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......tee hee
Love to all of you,
