Day eight

There is stil quite a lot of bruising in my palm and on my wrist. The wound feels tight but doesn't hurt. I am beginning to be able to push down gently with my fingers - not enough to flush the toilet but definitely better than a few days ago. I'm really looking forward to the stitches being gone as I really want to get some moisturiser into the area. I'm moisturising around the wound but I'm sure it will feel less tight once the skin is softer.
