h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

The stitches came out today They were itching like . Three in my arm, where they took the spare tendon from and eight in the base of my thumb.

I've got a groovy black plaster cast on now for another four weeks ish but I still can't do

It's no wonder I was aching like hell, the back of my hand is still black and blue; the very nice plastercaster who 'did' me says it's because of the backslab I'd had on for the last fortnight. At least I can move my fingers more now so I'm back to stiching with a vengeance.

I've given the very nice <doctor) who did my hand 7/10 for his stitching skills. I'll have to hold a masterclass at the hospital

Yes, they seem all too willing to open up seams & re-stitch them don't they? maybe they should enroll in a patchwork class!

I'm sticking with 'wait until the scab drops off of it's own accord & see what's underneath' line at present; so ;let us know how it's going...we could maybe start a lovely thread on 'Past & present scar tissue issues'?

ahhh a scar eh! well done that person

Well I'll start with a matching pair on each hand, carpal tunnel & trapezectomy, two on the right arm, five on the right arm. Great bob, I'm clumsier than I thought

; you survived!

My Big Scab dropped off last night, i managed to find it, got it photo'd, contacted the drug company & the pharmaceutical vigilance folk...bet there may be some sleepless nights ahead for them; oh dear

Hope your arm is starting to feel better
