Day 11 - Stitches Removed

I got my stitches out today at 1:15pm. In anticipation of what might be painful, I took a vicodin about an hour before.

Praise the Lord, I didn't need to take the pill...... NO PAIN. NO DISCOMFORT!!! I could feel the stitches being removed but not painful at all. I had a tender spot in the back of my head, too. Even when they got to that area, still nothing. And no bleeding either. oooooooh, the relief. It felt really good to have the stitches out. The pressure and tightness were gone almost immediately. I look forward to resting my hair on my pillow tonight in complete comfort.

Dr. Lam and the assistants commented that I was healing beautifully and I was released until a 4 month checkup. Did I mention I REALLY LOVE them. Everyone from the front desk to the doctor are consistently pleasant, patient and knowledgeable.

I was told to get a fine-toothed comb and comb my hairline so the scabs could come out. Can't wait to get home and comb through it! See the video and pics below. When I was removing the scabs, it was still a little tender

I get to wash and condition my hair, too!
