Hello @Maggie , @Smc 

I ammmm feeling soo tired at the moment xoxo

Hi @Shaz51 I hope your Dr's visit turns out okay.

I understand that you wouldn't want to go to the Dr again.

I haven't found a new GP, since mine left in March.

I still have stitches (from my March major surgery) sticking out through tummy.

Locum Dr didn't examine, when I saw him months ago - he just left it like that.

@Adge, that sounds like outright neglect. 😞 Any way you can get that seen to?

[Shaz51]

Any way you can get that seen to? i agree @Adge xxx

my mum`s strichers were taken out after16 days @Smc which the skin was growing over them xx

Hi @Smc @Shaz51 Yes it was neglectful - I saw the Locum Dr specifically for that purpose.

He said he couldn't see the stitches sticking out (through skin), so he said it must be 2 pimples (& left it at that).

The internal stitches are hard, like thick fishing line (sticking straight out).

I don't see how anyone (especially a Dr) could fail to recognise them for what they are.

As far as I know all the internal stitches were supposed to be dissolvable - yet they never dissolved.

There were supposedly no removable (non-dissolving) stitches - because you would have to open my tummy up, to get them out.

Yes, I will probably have to chase it up with someone (even though I still don't have a new GP).

I was hoping that they would do what they were supposed to do (dissolve) - yet over 7 months, they have not.

@Adge 

I would ring your surgeon's office and check what to do. They can tell you if you need to go in for a visit or whether you can safely tweeze the loose end out. Mr Darcy had some loose ends of stitches coming out of one of his surgical wounds.

Hi @Shaz51  sorry you are feeling tired today - make sure you rest a bit more or a bit longer if you can in the next few days to recharge a bit - maybe an afternoon nap if you can sometime ??? Or even a power nap - last week I had a nap in the car while waiting for MsS to finish an appt - only made th me world of difference
