I’m in Stitches
Not only did I have an amazing nurse with a quirky sense of humor, my doctor must have been her mentor. As the surgery was wrapping up, I asked how many stitches he used. He replied, “It’s rather difficult to count, but I would estimate somewhere around 40 to 50 running stitches. We normally use walking stitches, but seeing how active you are, we decided to go with the running stitches today.” FYI- walking stitches do not exist.
