Where do I go to get my staples out??

Good plan, I suppose with the referral she can go anywhere if she can't get in to see her own family dr.

Thank you so much, everyone!  I can't get them out till Tuesday (2-weeks post op), but I was really worried in case I needed to book an appointment and couldn't get in on that day.  I called the walk-in on Spring Garden and they said they'd do it!  :)

That's great.

Just to follow up, I got the staples out today with no problem at the Family Focus walk-in clinic on Spring Garden.  I just gave them my health card, that was it.  I also feel about a thousand times better now!  (Thank goodness)  One of them does look like it's opened up again (it was the brutally painful one, that was stretched to tight and deep into the muscle), but it's not bleeding or anything, so it's probably fine. 

 

Now, on to pureed foods... :)

Great to hear.

One thing I usually love to tell people about is polysporin ointment with the antibiotic and anaesthetic in it. It works and numbs up them sore spots and lets them heal better.

Yay to purees

So glad it turned out. If that area continues to stay opened I think you can get steri strips at the drug store to keep it closed. We used them at the hospital.
