Oh, forgot to add.

Julia and I had a nice ride. Quiet and slow, but it was nice to ride again, I think it’s been 3 weeks since I rode. We didn’t go far. She is trying her horse’s barefoot, and I don’t think the one she rode today will make it much. He was really gimping. She says she will come back Thurs. with her other one who she thinks can handle the rocks better. We only ran into one spot that was really boggy still, so that was good. I hated riding Harley thru too much mud and gunk. His cut looks good, but it’s still not closed all the way in one little spot, and a few of the stitches are still there. They are suppose to desolve on their own, but she said I may have to pull a few. I think the ones that are still there should stay a little longer.

Anyone know how long they should stay?

I wouldn’t pull the stitches unless it’s completely healed and they’re still there. I’d leave ‘em.

It’s been a month since our last ride.

We’re getting what is going to turn out to be an all day rain, not just a shower. Really out of the ordinary. I hope some of it makes it over the pass where the fires are.

Well, stitches usually are supposed to come out after 10 days if they’re the non-dissolving kind, so if these haven’t dissolved in that amount of time then I’d think you’d be ok to clip them and pull them out.
