Saturday at last and the stitches come out.
Abi told the Urgent Care doc today that in the Emergency Room last Saturday they could see my skull, once they got the blood to stop gushing. (Scalp wounds are notorious for that.)
Urgent Care doc: "I'm surprised they didn't use staples."
Abi: "My Mom said she wanted stitches."
Me: "I did?"
Abi: "You were doped up."
Doc: "Beautiful stitches."

Love tie-dye, it goes with everything! Estimates vary between two to eight weeks before I have my rosy-fair complexion back. No comment on the hair.
Abi brought me astringent for delicate skin to keep the wound clean. Witch hazel to remove the adhesives from those monitor patches that won't come off with soap and water. Vitamin E cream for the scars. It was like heaven to shampoo my hair tonight.
Abi brought me make-up to wear to church tomorrow in order to not scare the children, but I think I'm going to tell them I'm getting ready for Halloween.

I know I'm getting better not only by the color and swelling variations, but because my forehead is starting to itch and hurt at the same time. Don't you hate that? No scratching! |
