Stiches out

Went to my local GP surgery today to have my stiches out. A nice nurse got a friend a help and after 20 minutes of digging about they had done it. Turned out that the stiches were tied quite tightly so they did a good job of getting everything out and were very careful to make sure nothing was left so if you read this, thanks very much.

So, as you can see I have a nice long scar below the kneecap and a couple of keyhole scars around my knee (you can only see one of these). A running stich was used on the long one and one stich each on the others. The nurse put a couple of steristrips on the big one where te machine harvested my hamstring to use for the new ligament so I won;t be showering for another couple of days (though it's safer not too) but I'm glad they're out.

Had a good weekend over all, pretty positive at the moment. Down to one crutch too and can even hobble about a little with no crutches at all. Still, got to remember to be careful...it's early days.

Roll on physio.
