Continuous stitch removed - eventually!

After struggling with a loose stitch for months, my long awaited clinic appointment arrived today. My consultant took the stitch out in what seemed about 10 mins, I never felt a thing. I felt so good I popped in to see my work pals and went for lunch - big mistake. The numbing drops must have worn off and I hade to make my way home on the bus ( via a couple of chemists to get steroid and antibiotic eyedrops ) in considerable pain and my eye streaming. It was very sunny, which didn't help, as my sunglasses which I was sure were in my bag, were not! So I've had a bad afternoon, in the dark, dosed up on painkillers. But as you can see, cos I'm posting, feeling much better. Looking forward to a more comfortable time ahead!

I'm glad it's finally out Val.
When I had my continuous stitch out my eye was very sore and uncomfortable for a couple of days but recovered pretty quickly after that. I hope it's the same for you.

Val,
Really sorry to hear that you were in pain. It was good that the stitch has been removed just hoping that it heals well now.
Take care, love Sweet X x X

Sounds like the stitch was practically out itself.
Good to know you are feeling better.
