Stitches

I have a cut and I have to get stitches to make it better.

First the doctor or nurse will clean the area. 

Then they will use a needle to put some medicine around the cut to stop it from hurting. I might feel a pinch. This is okay.

Then they will use a special needle and thread to sew the cut until it is closed.

I will tell them if I am still hurting.

When they are finished, they will clean the area again and cover it with a special bandaid and dressing.

All finished, Good job!

How am I feeling?
