A few of the stitches came out without a problem, however, when they got to the larger one....I was squeezing Kris's hand so tight so I wouldn't cry. Apparently, my skin started to grow over the stitches. They had to cut my skin a little bit to get the stitch out. Thank god I took pain medicine before the appointment. However, I should have taken the good ones ;)
I am at almost 80 degrees on the CPM machine which they were happy about. They also said that I was walking a lot faster in the crutches, which is reassuring. They told me that I can lay on my side if I want to know when I go to sleep, but I still need to wrap the brace in a garbage bag if I want to take a shower. The next visit, we get to talk about physical therapy. Yay
Kris reminded me that after this appointment, they can't hurt me anymore. Felt better after hearing that.
After the appointment, we went to Target. I got in one of the motorized scooters and went all around the store. Felt good to get out of the house. And have Starbucks. Me driving the motorized scooter...ran into two racks, and missed a few corners. Got some books, and snacks and went home.
