The day before we left for Hawaii Eelco took Rick back to the Doctor to see if maybe the staples could be taken out of his head. They were supposed to stay in for up to 10 days but as Rick would not be allowed to swim with those in his head (and there is no way to keep Rick out of the water!) and as Eelco had taken on board the suggestion that maybe he could take them out himself in Hawaii (the thought gave me nightmares!) I urged him to try if maybe a week was enough healing for Rick's head.
Fortunately it was! The Doctor took all staples out - of which we cannot show you the 4th as it was a little stuck and hence not as clean as the other ones.
This is what Rick looked like after some pulling on his head without any anesthetics. Stoic or maybe even a little defiant....Rick vs Staples 1-0 I'd say!
