Or so said the Nurse last night at the Kaiser emergency room..
In a surprising turn of events, the surgical scar in the right hand had a small rip and pus started coming out.
Worried that the right hand was rotting on the inside, a trip to the hospital regular care ended up being redirected to ER.
Two hours later the doctor looked it up under a lens and lights and said
"your body is not degrading the bio-degradable sutures. instead it is attacking the small pieces left with white blood cells"
Apparently not uncommon!
They pulled out a small suture piece and cleaned it up and sent me home with antibiotics..
Interesting, to say the least!
