I think 9 days is the maximum time for stitches before the skin starts healing over and you could have problems removing the stitches. Keep an eye on the stitches and see if they are able to be removed after a week.“Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.” - Oscar Wilde0

try not to pull any of the stitch that has been "outside"-(ie visible)-underneath the wound as this will pose an infection risk.Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.....
