So Far...So Good

Well, I haven't been sweating through any of my clothing for awhile now- Great!

My dissolving stitches- well they have not dissolved at all. It's been about 2 months following surgery and I guess most people's bodies will dissolve the stitches in 2 weeks. My incision sites are very irritated looking and purple- probably because my body is not dissolving the stitches underneath the skin there. The incision sites looked better 10 days after surgery than they do now. They aren't infected though so it isn't anything to worry about, it's more of an annoyance. I would have liked them to be fairly healed over so that no one would notice come swimwear season but there isn't anything I can do about that now.

I did some research on the web and I guess if your body can't dissolve them they'll eventually be pushed out of your body so I'm in for the long haul I guess. Possibly a year or so?
