I got the stitches out today and the ankle is still much improved. It might not last and it hasn't helped my hand but it's still encouraging. If it doesn't come back in the ankle maybe the arthritis in the left knee and ankle will clear up.

You won't find the proceedure or the instrument in any medical books but, hey, whatever works.

My sister noted that I look more like a mummy all the time when leaving the ER. With my ear and hand all wrapped up and bandages elsewhere. Maybe by the time they dig up the real Imhotep in a few years I'll either be "cured" or completely "mummified".
