You gotta keep stitches clean and dry even for a couple of days after they're out...[/quote]
Perhaps he should have mentioned that the surgery and stitches are located on his collar bone area. No where did I read that he dipped his collar bone into the water.
Swimmers itch sucks! Try toweling off immediately after leaving the water. It can help stop it...but that is not a gaurentee! Those perch sure are tasty....I would have found some room for those guys!
Thanks for the post MarineSpear....glad to see you are back out again!
