Stitches In, Stitches Out

Grandma Strickland got stitches in her broken thumb and Maggie got her stitches out after being spayed.
Not that I am comparing my grandmother and my dog but they both had stitches.
Mama and I went to pick my Grandma Strickland up yesterday from Kennett, Missouri. Kennett is about 20 miles over the Arkansas-Missouri border. Grandma has been without electricity since last Tuesday. With some family there, she has been ok until Monday when she went to McDonald's, which strangely enough is one of the only places other than Walmart, that now has power. Anyway, she went to get a burger, slammed her thumb in the car door, bleed profusely and went to the emergency room. After being there all afternoon, she ended up with 4 stitches and a broken thumb. And that was enough for us, we loaded up, told her to be packed and that we would be there a little after noon. We did and were back here by 8:00 last night. She is doing good, cleaned her thumb for the first time after 48 hours and got to see the damage done. Mom said it's pretty yucky but will be fine. She is loving ELECTRICITY!!
Maggie was spayed a two weeks ago and we took her to get her stitches out today. She is bouncing around as usual. It only kept her down for maybe a week. Everything looked good and she enjoyed the trip to Arkadelphia. She LOVES riding in the car.
