post surgery: day 11

I got my stitches out today!!!  I'm excited to have them out because they were starting to get kind of itchy.  Mom threatened me with an elizabethan collar (why can't we just call it a good, ole fashioned "cone" anymore?!?) so I made sure not to scratch at it too much.

I was not looking forward to having to get back into the pet crate, but the doctors' visit was quick and painless.  Dr. Olivero said that my eye has healed perfectly, and he's glad that I won't have to worry anymore about the melanoma.  With the stitches gone, my eye looks way less gnarly.  And it doesn't hurt at all anymore either!
