Follow Up on the Stitches

The stitches came out on Tuesday and all is healing well. Dr. Sanzaro gave me a topical to help with scar reduction it's called "Scar Guard". I have to put it over the injury. It's supposed to minimize how much collagen will form and thereby reduce the scarring. Dr. Sanzaro was pretty happy wth how things look and so am I. I really wasn't a fan of those flesh colored bandages, but they looked a lot better on TV than the real thing.

This incident has been weird. First, it was just stupid, but you wouldn't believe the attention I received. I mean, after all, I walked into a door and needed stitches.

A couple of tv related web sites even ran with the incident. That meant that friends in the TV business across the country could also laugh at my misfortune. Phone calls, e-mails, even posts to the blog were more than you'd think. I do find it endearing though that quite a few people had true concern for me and were able to laugh with me(I know some where laughing at me, but that's ok).

I only missed the 2 minute hit in the 6 AM news that day along with the Noon newscast, but that's it.
