A few months ago I had a mole removed on my back and the pathology came back as abnormal. They were not sure if they got all the abnormal cells or not since it was removed in pieces, so on Monday the doctor cut out around my scar. I went into this expecting 2 or 3 stitches, and came out with 12. She cut into my back pretty deep, so she put in 3 deep stitches and 9 surface stitches. I've never had stitches before, and I know this is definitely a lame reason to need stitches but I thought I'd blog about it anyway. The frustrating thing is that they are in that one place on my back that is nearly impossible for me to get to, so I have to wait for James to be home so I can shower and he can change the bandage. It's also annoying because it ended up being right next to my shoulder blade so I feel it tugging everytime I move my arm. 
The doctor called me today to tell me everything came back normal, and the stitches will be removed next Thursdsay.
On another note, Miss Lexi found the thermometer and thought it was fun to take her temperature over and over and over again...
Checkin' it out...
No fever....yay!!

Glad the pathology reports came back normal! That's kind of anxious-making (that's a shout out to the Uglies series!). I've never had stitches, but I hear they itch like crazy. How ya doin with that? And Lexie is adorable with that thermometer. The last pic she is beautiful!
yikes, I'm sorry you had to get stitches, glad they got it all, though. Lexie is so cute!
Molly, I know this is belated and I should have confirmed sooner, but did you happen to get my email about Joy group that I sent ya about 2 weeks ago?
