thanks everyone for the support. It is so much appreciated and helped me overcome this major anxiety and urge. I am pleased to say that I got to the doctors with 2 of the 3 stitches intact, and the wound nicely healed (if I had given in it would have been a VERY diferent story). I know all 3 nurses in the practice well- they have all treated my SIs in the past, and Jo and I had a good laugh over this...she asked how the 1 stitch had come out, I hedged around the truth and smiled, she guessed and asked if it had had any help in coming out. It was all very light hearted and made me feel better esp since I had overcome my urges so much. So all in all I am very pleased with myself.
