The Knee...

So what went wrong?  Is this good wound repair? All I know is, it's bloomin' sore.
The dressing came off - that's my plaster on there.
I'd been feeling a sharp pulling sensation under one of the dressings, like a hair caught, or something, and that same dressing was starting to peel off, so I bit the bullet, got the biggest plaster I could find, and set to to change the dressing... AAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Look what I found. One dressing was half-way across the wound - the adhesive stuck over it, so I trimmed that back. There was a stitch on the other half, not even tidied, and puckering the skin so tight it hurt when I bent the knee.  It's pretty red, too.  I haven't looked at the other as the dressing is still secure.
