For Real? - 2008/08/18 06:56I just got stitches in my head. Is it true that I should stay out of the water for 10 DAYS?!!

Re:For Real? - 2008/08/18 14:48i think doctors know what they are talking about. you should probably listen to them. if you want to get in the water go ahead its ur body. if you do wait a couple of day to let it heal a bit prevent as much infection as possible.

Re:For Real? - 2008/08/18 18:37Stay out of sweetwater or brackwater - avoid surfing rivermouths. When I have a wound it always heals much faster in clean saltwater. But it should be closed, if You have an open cut, it should not get wet. So I think, after 2-3 days out, You may go in again.
