Can we say "OUCH?" really really loud. Yes it hurt but I did not cry. I almost did but I held it in. He asked me if I needed more pain medicine and I told him I never took it. (it makes me sick). He said he could not believe I didn't take anything but Motrin those few days. He called me "unbelieveable".

He said it was much bigger than he had thought. Said it ended up being 12 cm which I think is 5". No wonder I am so sore down there!!! Can we say OUCH again?

I go back Tues 8:30 am to get most of the other stitches out. he said I may have to go back a 3rd time if he can't them all but we'll see how its healing. He said he may have to dig deep this time (i said "what?!") so he gave me some pain medicine to take before hand to take the edge off. I just want it over with and yes, I will TRY VERY HARD to quit overdoing it.

OUCH OUCH OUCH Sherri. I hope that he does not have to dig for any of them. Try to take it easy this weekend and maybe that will make it easier. Also if at all possible take the pain pill he gave you about an hour before you go in. Also ask him if he can use some numbing gel prior to removing the next ones. DS brings Oragel with him when he had to get stitches out just in case the doc does not have any and it really helps. Just a suggestion.

Phew! Glad the results are great but couldn't they have used dissolving stitches so you wouldn't have to go through all this pain?

Ouchie! I'm sure it hurt. But, I am truly surprised you even had any stitches left after everything you've done this week.

You need one of those little boo boo bunnies. Why don't they use the stiches that dissolve? I hope everything will be easy next time.

So happy about the lab results. That is great news!

Now, pain is not great news. Hope he gave you a different pain med that you can tolerate for the next go-round.
