So, yeah, I took Bella back to get her staples removed today. Apparently she had some issues with bleeding and the doctor had to open her back up after the surgery because of it. As a result, her scar is twice as long as it normally would have been. Anyway, when I picked her up the evening of her surgery, they gave me some pain meds for her, some reading material on what I should be looking out for, and a paper stating that I should go back (today) on the 9th for her staple removal.
Well, when I showed up for that, the lady asked me if it had been 10 days. I told her that her surgery had been last Thursday. So, she then told me that they generally need to be in for at least 10 days and after checking with the doctor, tells me to bring her back in next Thursday to have them taken out. Oh well, at least it wasn't that far of a drive and Bella got to go for a ride, so that made her happy.
