Body Odd


In my last post, I remarked on a minor abscess to the side of Hip Chick's pelvic incision and suture thread hanging out of it.  Well, mystery solved!  This fell out of her hip through the abscess last night.  Her body worked to push out this entire line of thread.  I had dabbled it with Neosporin Friday night and yesterday- her body handled the rest!

I don't fully understand why her body would choose to push out a suture line, but it clearly wanted it gone.  Of all the experiences through this hip dysplasia journey, this was quite an unexpected sight.  Our bodies are remarkable organisms, aren't they?
