on the issue of stitches, I had 23 stitches to close the surgical incision that runs from the top of my right arm at the shoulder to the elbow- how many are required may vary a hell of a lot- also depends on what type of stitch is used- I know this because my case was subject to considerable explanation to the interns at the hospital- the thrust of it being that it was bad to use too many stitches ( at the time I thought 23 was not enough either, if your gonna close it up, make sure it stays that way) anywho, the number of stitches is usualy less if its a cut made by a cutting instrument, rather than a gash or rough/ripped open type of wound......
