so the gash across my shoulder has finally officially healed.
i have spent the last two weeks having nightmares about my skin just falling off.
when the doctor put the stitches in, he told me that if i got them out to early...
there was a chance that the skin wouldnt be healed
and if i did something such as sneeze or cough, the skin would split back apart.
so i scheduled the appointment as late as possible to have them removed.
then, the stithces itched and i realized i would be out of town on my appointment date.
so i changed it to the only day that both me and the doctor could attend.
so i had the stitches taken out one day early.
and i refused to sneeze or cough or raise my arm up over my head...
i just knew the skin woudl tear at the seams.
at night i would sleep and imagine me having the best sneezes over...
and my skin would just bust open at the seam and slowly fall off of my body.
or i would itch the stitch and pull my hand away, covered in blood
and again, slowly the skin would be gone.
however, the skin never fell off my face.
so i always had my head and then a whole lots of blood and guts.
i now feel comfortable in my skin
the stitches have been out for almost a week
the nurse glued me together even after she took out the stitches
the glue is completely gone
and my skin is still intact.
