When the sutures were taken out of the surgery wound (what do you call that, anyway? suture site? surgery wound? what?), I did not think that this was going to heal anywhere near as quickly as it has, so color me impressed at the amount of healing this has since done in the days following suture removal. Although I’ve repeatedly been told not to do too much activity on this foot, the rate at which this thing is finally beginning to heal is not lost on me and for the first time now I can truly see how this thing might actually be completely healed in a matter of months. In the immediately following days I seriously looked at this thing again like I might have to make another appointment for Steri-Strips to be put on it because I could still see more of the… inside of the wound than I felt was appropriate or safe, and soon enough, in a matter of days there only remains a small circular wound left out of everything that was originally there when they did foot surgery.

That is one way to clean up, I guess! I seriously look forward to never having to worry about this thing again.

Precisely what is said in the subject bar of the post, as a matter of fact: the sutures are gone!

This means that the large bandaging that has been on my foot since the surgery took place is now gone and I am cleared to take baths like a normal human being tends to, which is absolutely exciting! The very first thing I am going to do is to take a bath like… well, a normal human being is able to, and the second thing I am going to do is to sleep like a normal human being since I no longer have an annoying amount of bandaging on my foot. But as stated, I am extremely excited for no longer having sutures still in my foot!
