Gashed my right leg open on the middle of the shin bone...six stitches , told have to wait ten days to get wet , but was just amping up for the Coastal Crawl Aug 4th in Harbor Springs Mich....I need to get back in the water , Help.Water proof Ideas?????
I have cut various things off my legs and swam with the stitches I put in without much problem. If there is not dissolvable suture (gut, vicryl), should be ok. Probably will heal better if you do what you're told but unless you are a leg model, who cares. Harbor Springs crawl...I used to do that one over 15 years ago...almost won twice but kept going off course...still a problem of mine. Good luck.
