Today I rode from outside of Genova to Borgio Verezzi.
I had thought I would take it easy today, but I wound up going pretty far.
I passed through Savona
saw some cool rocks
and was happy to be riding
I decided to get my stitch out and went to the next town over from Borgio Verezzi. Once I found the right place to go (Pronto Soccorso), I didn’t have to wait long at all. I had asked an Italian man at the campground that morning how to say ‘remove the stitch,’ and he gave me the translation ‘togliere i punti.’
The nurse said I could go in the water, or at least I think she did, I don’t speak Italian, so of course I rode to the nearest beach and went in. I had been upset that I couldn’t go in the water when my leg was bandaged so now I’m going every chance I get. (which can be all day every day if I want!)

You are looking very good, Heather. Glad you went to hospital togliere i punti. Please continue to watch for reddness. Ask Dy-lan about it.

Do you think it’s healed? It seems like they should have put more than one stitch in it.
Have you heard of a butterfly bandage? I’ve used them before and like them. Steri-Strips are also good.
I Googled it for you and found a good site. You may want to add some of this stuff to your first aid kit if you don’t already have it. http://www.utahmountainbiking.com/firstaid/bandage.htm
I think you should get that gear guard that Mom told me about. I looked online, but I don’t know if this is what you’d want (it’s in Euros though, so good for price comparison) http://mailordercycles.co.uk/products.php?plid=m2b0s266p4117
