Ah! I feel your pain. I got a few moles cut off last year, and they each got a stich or two. Then my dermatologist (who's a riding buddy) decided one of them looked suspicious, so she cut a big chunk out of my leg and I ended up with about 12 stitches there. I think she did it to slow me down.... she's very competitive.

Hope the toe feels better. That is a terribly awkward spot!! Good thing it is sandal season.
