I've had one of those super long hairs be ingrown. It just coiled in on itself. I thought it was a black spot, so I dug it out with a sharp pair of tweezers. Once I got it and started pulling, it just kept going. Hair and puss came out and it felt terrible. Once I got it out it healed very quickly and felt much better, so I'm glad I did it, but that feeling still creeps me out.
I needed to have "under the skin" stitches removed for a surgery that went across my throat from almost ear to ear. For whatever reason they did not use the type that dissolve but I was told that they would be removed after a few weeks. When they did, the process was to cut the knot and proceed to pull what seemed like a two foot long and thick hair out of me. It was like a magician pulling handkerchiefs from his hat. It just would not end and it felt awful.
Heh, I had to have like 200 stitches removed from when I had my hand crushed and we got snowed in two appointments in a row so I just got scissors and tweezers and went to work.
The best way was every other stitch you cut.
Takes forever if you do them one at a time, but the draggy feeling just gets to be way too much if you go for three.
Makes me shiver just thinking about 3.
what does "snowed" mean in this context?
Actual snow from the sky covering the roads till they shut them down
When it snows so much that the roads become undrivable.
