I was chauffeuring my elderly neighbor and his daughter to the clinics
last year and got to see all that crap, too. It reminded me why I
didn't go see the doctor. I haven't tried stitching up my own scalp
yet, but I do butterfly my deeper slice wounds and they're healed in 2
weeks. I diagnose and cure 95% of my infrequent problems and
absolutely hate it when a doctor confirms my suspicions and has
nothing more to add, nor does he seem to care.


Sewing up that back of your head while looking in two mirrors
is "very" hard to do.

I'll bet it's even harder with only one.

I pulled a splinter out of my back once with two mirrors. It's an
exercise in flip logic, getting your fingers to move one way, hand
another, tweezers yet another, all in bassackward 3-D reverse. I
actually used a pair of eyebrow pluckers v. tweezers.

Never scratch your back on an old barn corner. DAMHIKT

Silk, polyester, or mercerized cotton, B? I'd guess that the nice
thing about sewing the back of your head is that you don't really need
to see it to sew it, plus you have both hands free. Betadine can be
applied in the dark, and if you have to shave, disposable razors are
easy to use and, like antibiotic cream, usually in stock in every
medicine cabinet.

What ever is handy, I use spiderwire(fishing line) on the dogs.
