did they take them out too soon?? or did they give you an antibiotic??

Debbie doesnt really think she took that one staple too out soon, we waited the 12 days as instructed - but I shouldnt have bled and been in that much pain either.

I have been using only Bacitracin Zine Ointment (The fancier name of "na-na-na-na-Neo...sp-sp-sp-sp-sporin") since the doctor said I didnt need to take any antibiotics for it since it was a clean scalpel-like cut. (I was given a tetanus shot for it though)

There's a very good chance Dr.Storms may have stapled a nerve, because before the staples were added I had flexibility in my hand even with the wide-open deep wound (I was able to move it without any pain even as it bled). After the staples I dont have hardly any flexibility in my hand, I cannot bend the index/F.U. fingers down into a fist and I cant bend the ring/pinky fingers as well as before the staples.

Deb said if we went to the ER they would have removed all the staples and after noticing the wound was not healing as fast as Dr.Storms thought, they would have to add new ones since it is obvious the wound is not closing and healing as it should - to which I said "Uh - No thanks!". We'll leave the remaining 5 in til the end of the week then remove 'em - unless my hand gets worse, then it's off to yet another episode of "Brian sees a ER MD".
