Staple Removal

Last night we had to take Charity back to the instacare to have the staple removed. I wasn't really sure it was actually ready because her cut/gash (what would be the right word for it?) didn't really look healed enough. But we went.

Charity did NOT want to go. She threw a fit about it for quite a while before we left and then refused to get out of the van when we got there. We practically had to drag her out. Luckily, she'd calmed down and was behaving nicely by the time we got in the building, though Daddy had to carry her.

The doctor examind it, said it was ready to come out and snip, it was out. It took a lot less time to remove that staple than it did to put it in! Charity insists it hurt worse to have th staple removed than to have it put in though, lol. The doctor said the removal is the practically painless part so I don't know if I believe her, especially with how she didn't want to go back. But he said it's healing up nicely.

I hadn't thought the staple had bothered her much but when she went to bed last night, she told me excitedly that she could lay on the back of her head again so it must have atleast caused a discomfort for her at night :( I'm glad she's doing fine though and there wasn't any permenant damage from hitting her head though!
