Good luck!
Thanks, and yes they said to keep a glob of Vaseline on the wound when changing the bandage. I didn't sleep well last night and every time I would turn over I felt like I was pulling the stitches out. I woke this morning and my forehead was really sore, been taking ibuprofen most of the day.
