A lion's thorn

Initially, when all of the dissolvable sutures were getting to be a nuisance more than functional, I started trimming all of the loose pieces close to the surface. I’ve had two little pieces sticking just above the skin in the lower area where things were sewn back together...just below the vaginal opening. Lately, though, these have become rather irritating. So, tonight I felt with my fingernail where it was, grabbed onto it with a pair of tweezers (which took many attempts), and gently pulled. Surprisingly, it kinda slide right out. The ‘dissolvable’ suture was at least half an inch long, which was even more amazing to me. After it was out, though...whew!....it felt a lot better.
