Ouch! That sucketh much.

Best thing you can do is keep the wound as clean as possible. I had staples once (on my head) and they're really not the best way to keep a wound closed; they'll probably come off within the next 3-5 days if I remember correctly. If there is anything you need, please let me know.

Is that the time you had amnesia? Because that story is still really cool.

Actually, it's from a much younger age, but the story is still kind of entertaining...remind to tell you one day so you can get a laugh at me.

Ouuuuuuuch. Sorry hon. Doctor Who will make you feel better! Do you and Aristos want to come over friday?

aristos1 January 30 2007, 03:44:13 UTC

Let me check my schedule (and BF) to see if Friday is good. But, that sounds like awesome fun :-)

uh-oh..I may have to check on that. But if I am free, I will probably need a ride...

dreamcatcher3 January 31 2007, 02:43:22 UTC

That's fine. Let me know if there are any problems.

Come out by themselves?? [panicking] I was told to come back after about 10 days to have them removed. I'm being as careful as I can with it and slowwwly bending my leg a bit and straightening it in the hopes it will heal better that way. I *really* really don't want it reopening on me or getting infected.

Staples suck as far as getting the job done. I didn't have to have a single one removed by a doctor.

And yes, you don't want an infection; there is too much methicillin-resistant staph aureus (MRSA) running around out there now and it is NO fun to deal with.

There are different kinds of staples, and I've never had any so I can't speak from personal experience. But sometimes they work better than suture, depending on the injury. You should have got a sheet of discharge instructions, and if you didn't it would be a good idea to call & talk with a nurse. Take care, good luck, and I'm glad it wasn't worse!

OW!! *hugs! carefully!*

FYI, we're still on for food and stuff. Feb 13th is when I fly in. No forgetting.

dreamcatcher3 January 30 2007, 05:09:24 UTC

WAIT, you're flying in? When did this decision get made?

happynoodlehead January 30 2007, 04:32:52 UTC

omg! that's crazy! that sounds like something that would happen to me.
