Well, folks, in about two hours my stitches (wait, does anybody remember my stitches? but of course you do!) will have been relegated to the dustbin of history.
DR Ginny: I forgot to report back on this, but I checked with them last week on the number of days involved, and they said one week was this doctor’s standard. I pointed out that this puts me one day over that, and they assured me it was okay. Anyhoo, the work looked really good to a friend who’s familiar with these things. So we shall see!
