Stiches (Not a laughing matter)

Post by **Disinfertention** » October 27th, 2003, 9:16 pm

If you got that joke, good for you... but I doubt it's making anyone actually laugh.

Last Tuesday I got stiches in both arms. Doc told me to take em out a week from then, and I just started to tonight. The ones that were in my left arm were easy, but the ones on my right mostly healed into my skin. This being, the scissors I was using isn't able to get them, and I dont have any sharpe knives handy... Even if I did I'd still have to cut into my skin to get at them.

Any suggestions?

I had to take out about four stitches in my lip and I found that those tiny fingernail sciscors and tweezers worked pretty good.

I have no idea what kinda stiches your Dr was using, but some of the modern ones are able to disolve after a few weeks. I'd just suggest calling him/her, if you don't like the advice their is always the Whiskey.

They don't use those type of stitches without telling you Harris. I tend to agree with Leatherneck, get a bottle of whiskey and a piece of leather.

I pulled stitches out of my stomach while in Battalion with two Leatherman's. I hope that helps.

Hot woman giving good head will allow removal of stitches without pain, just keep some towels handy to soak up the blood.
