A Stitch In Time

D’s has a lump of leg removed for biopsy and was told to get his stitches out today. In his (man) brain this meant ‘ring the dr’s on Tuesday and ask the nurse to take your stitches out’. Of course, the receptionist laughed when he said he needed an appointment for today.
To cut a long story short, I got them out with the aid of some cotton wool, a bottle of surgical spirit and the scissors I use to trim Bertie’s paws. I expect he’ll be having his leg off in about 10 days.
