prayers, socks, pirattitude for katie today

Katie:

The itchy stuff will be all over a few days after the stitches come out.  It takes a few days for the little scabs to go away but then you are home free.  I had a little razor burn too but that was gone a few days after the pressure bandage came off.

Congrats on the no headaches to speak of.  I was extremely lucky that way too but boy did I have neck spasms for a few days.  I guess 8.5 hours is too long to have your head cocked in one position - a little Valium took care of that problem.

Best of luck Katie,  Kathy

Hi Katie....my scar still itches....I had some of the sub stitches work their way out, which sometimes happens, and they really itched!!!  My doctor reccomended Alieve post narcotics for pain and I found it worked well...and if I was having a bad day I just took 1/2 a narcotic.  You're doing great so far and keep up the good work girlie!!!!
