Day 30 and pulled a stitch out

Boring day of laying around at home.  Zings in my lower lip and chin.  No ichy feeling today.  Only fun I had today was panic from accidentally pulling one of my stitches out.  It was soooo gross.  I ate shredded chicken with sauce on it this afternoon and I was looking in my mouth awhile after I brushed my teeth because I felt like something was stuck by my back left lower molar.  When I got a good look I saw what I thought was a string of the chicken.  I found out it wasn't.  Ugh.  I was trying to get it with my toothbrush and it wouldn't come out.  It looked like it was stuck between my back lower molars.  I couldn't grab it with my fingers so I got my tweezers out.  Ugh.  I got it with the tweezers and gently tried to pull it out.  I felt a light tug on my cheek as it was slowly being pulled out of my cheek.  Ugh.  I felt it tug, tug, tug as it was coming out of three different stitched spots.  Then I realized what it really was and felt sick.  I was still holding it with the tweezers and the string was still attached to my cheek when I yelled for my daughter to get scissors.  When she came I asked her to carefully hold the tweezers and I cut the string as close to my tooth as I could without pulling it out more.  I called my surgeon and he said it was fine.  Don't want to do that again.  I won't be pulling anything out with tweezers again.

My upper lip and the area above it is still more swollen than it looks.  This is what happened when I lifted my lip up to look at my gums at the stitches that are right in the middle.  See the line that is left from lifting my lip?
