Congratulations on getting to the point where they can take it out. May you heal quickly from the removal, and with no complications.

At least it was stiches not staples. I hope you are healing well.

It was mostly a stay at home vacation, but we went to Chez Mom and Dad for an overnight Sunday/Monday. That was nice. Also got out for some antiquing. Quite fun! :)
