This morning I had a follow-up appointment to see how my back was doing.

Me: So about a week and a half ago, I noticed a thread coming out of my back.
Sensei: Oh? Let's take a look.
*Examines the scar and the thread*
Sensei: It's a surgical thread, all right.
*Snips it*
Sensei: And you said it only came out last week?
Me: Well, I only noticed it then.
Sensei: I see. You could have called for an earlier appointment.
Me: But it didn't hurt or look infected, or anything, so I thought it would be okay to wait for this appointment.
Sensei: *looking like she was trying not to laugh at this weird person who was not bothered by a thread coming out of her back* Come back and see me in November. And if you find any more threads coming out of your back, call, okay?

Last night, I dreamt I was with Alexis and we were meeting up with Jill to see Masa perform at a place called (how fitting!) The Beer Hall. We didn't have tickets, but that was okay, because we could just buy them at the restaurant next door. But on the way my cell phone had been stolen and replaced with another one that would tell me when I had mail, but wouldn't let me read it, instead flashing Russian spam on the screen. I spent a long time trying to figure out how the pickpocket had managed to get my phone charms off my phone and onto the replacement.

I had that happen when I had the breast reduction. The stitching should dissolve over time but if it doesn't the body rejects them, slowly pushing them to the surface. Mine wasn't on my back so I just cut mine out myself (the nurse told me to and had showed me how).

I wish I could have done it myself, but the scar is pretty much in the dead centre of my back, the hardest place to reach, and see in a mirror! It was nearly 1cm of thread, and the only reason I hadn't noticed it was that it was the colourless kind, and I tried to avoid scratching that area because I didn't want to accidentally tear anything.

Actually, I wonder if anyone in my ballet class had noticed. :3
