Did you get any information on when the stitches will dissolve, and when you need to stop being careful with them?

Yeah, that was fun. I'd forgotten how hard it was since high school.
They didn't tell me and I didn't think to ask. I would think the being careful in another couple of days. I hope the stitches will be gone by the end of next week.

I forgot I want to finish the wall repairs on the garage so I can use up those 2"x8" and give them a purpose instead of being slightly out of my way.
I'd better get moving if I want to get all that done. Otherwise I'll be moving that heavy work bench and the heavy top to a 2nd work bench I've never put together in the heat tomorrow and have sawdust sticking all over me.
I'd prefer not to tar and feather myself.
Crisis averted.
Worked out in the garage until 10PM tonight. I risked running saws that late since I was hearing a bunch of fireworks and figured nobody was going to complain about me running them late with the doors closed while that was still going on.
Not only did I get everything organized and both of my work benches cleared off finally, but I repaired the entire wall and moved the benches back and I got around to putting the final trim pieces on the sides of the shelving system. It's a really sweet final touch on it that wasn't necessary for anything other than looks.
I was finally able to use the cordless jigsaw that I bought last summer to make them, and I got some good use out of my cordless multi-tool too.

Too true. The only thing on my mind was getting out of there and getting home. *L*
I think part of one stitch did come out tonight when I was taking my meds. I felt something on my lip after swallowing one of them. But I still need to rinse with salt water.

Yeah. Looking back on it, this was a crazy amount of time and effort. Aside from mowing the lawn twice, I'd been working out in that garage every day now for 9 straight days, usually until 9PM or later.
That's not even including the time I spent working on it a few months back before I ran out of 2x4 lumber and had to wrap everything up as best I could to start working on getting my car to pass the emissions test.
And then it's not including the huge de-hoard of 2019 that saw 50% of the stuff that was in the garage go out to the street or to Goodwill either.
What's nice about this too is that about 1/5th of the stuff that currently is on the shelves is temporary stuff that won't be there anymore once its used up for future projects on the house. Just like most of the lumber I had is either part of the shelving or the base of the garage on the fixed wall, was thrown out last week, is in cans to be thrown out this week, or will be picked up by one of my friends soon.
When that happens, I can do some slight re-org once again and have 2 or three of the mid-level shelves cleared out to put the most commonly used tools on, but still keep them out of the way and off the work benches. (Right now, I still have to get all of my power tools back inside and clear the benches of the tools I was using up until 10PM last night because I was too tired to bother with it when I finished).
Today I begin a much-needed cleaning of the house. I think I'm going to start in the basement. I need to clean up the work area first, and get my horses out in the garage. I can now do all of my painting out there instead of inside the house, and not worry about having to move everything constantly to park my car. I also have to go through all the free stuff I've gotten on rebate, figure out what I'm giving away and to whom and then incorporate it into the stuff out in the garage.
Oh... Drat. I just realized that I forgot to clean out the shop vac last night. I picked up quite a bit of mouse crap and a few long-dead (flat) mice along that damaged wall. Gross. I wanted to do that before I took a shower last night. I'd better do it before it hits 90 degrees. Still reasonably cool right now.
Later!

Out for my walk on what looks like a nice day. Delivering a late birthday present for a friend.

Back from my walk and had a good afternoon with my friend. We had lunch and took a spin around a local mall.

Tons and tons and tons of house cleanup done today. It's a new house.
