Goodbye Porcupine Quills

I finally got my stitches out! I went to Dr. Muhonen this week and he just cut them off. First, he said that someone else was going to do it. Instead, I asked him to do it, because you know, I thought he had done it before and he had done such a good job with my brain surgeries. (Not to mention he put them there.) I am just so comfortable with him. As it turns out, he said that he has never done it before. So, I got nervous and asked for someone else. He said, " No, you asked for me, I am going to do it. Now where is my 9 iron?" I could tell he was kidding, but still, when someone is using very sharp scissors so close to your head, YOU DO get nervous. If it's your first time that is. It turns out that he just cut them off and they were gone. Now I can wear hats, and they won't get caught on any quills. The stitches were very stiff and pokey and they caught on anything that came near them, like my hair. I poked my mom a couple times when she hugged me.

My mom was very happy that I finally had two decent meals yesterday. Thanks for the meatloaf, Mrs. Maganini and the soup, Mrs. Gaudet!
