I did check with the doc and am not thrilled with his non chalant "it'll take a while" answer. There isn't really room for a pocket of anything. It's a small cut, just deep. You can't see way down to the bone or anything...I'm just irritated with the flap. It's a flap of skin that won't grow shut. I am just so damn irritated. I'm going to get my quilt stuff out tonight and at least make an attempt.
