Re: This seems to be the root of my trouble.
Had nothing to do with stitches. It ended about 3 inches away from the scar. He has cleaned it out and the scar so now all I have to do is heal now. I was in surgery fro 2 1/2 hours, was supposed to be a short session.

Today I ticked 2 things to getting back to life. I booked a private lesson, I haven't had one since this time last year and I clipped Lewyn. I am sure I will pay tomorrow but it is done. As you can see he really really needed clipping. https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpl1/v/t1.0-9/...
