    When my wisdom teeth were removed. 

    (I tried to get some more by running a knife through my hand, but they just glued it)

    Never had stitches not associated with a surgery.  The last surgery was in 2016.

    12 stitches is a lot.  I hope you are feeling better today.

    Not really. My daughter was working at the hospital at the time I was there, (She's an NP.) and her friend, the shift attending PA, did the sutures. It was a nice visit; we talked about my grandkids and stuff. Very little pain. Thanks.
