Staple Removal

I got lucky to get staples after surgery. Lucky me right? I am definitely not looking forward to getting these out. I never had staples from surgery so I never had them removed and I do not know what it is going to be like to get them out. I think my mind might be making it worse than it might end up actually being. Crossing my fingers!!

So, it is the big day!! I like the nurse so I am hoping this will be good. My mom counted about 68 staples. The remover looks all crazy and not like the normal office staple remover. It has more of a handle and like a beak thing to get the individual staple. Oh no!!

The nurse was awesome!! She took it at a slow and steady pace. There were a few that were a little twisted so that was a little uncomfortable but nothing crazy. She also did not mind me asking her questions to help keep my mind off these things coming out. So glad she was okay with that and she could talk and remove staples with the greatest of ease!!

It was not so bad but I would not like to do it again if possible. So thankful for a great lady to get those staples out too!! I have included a picture of a staple I kept for a souvenir. Crazy? I hope not!!
