How long should stitches be in?

The Doctor Who put them in will be able to best judge how long they need to be left in, but on average stitches on the face should be left in for 3-5 days, stitches on the body or scalp 7-10 days, and stitches on extremities 10-14 days. When a stitch is put in on a joint like the elbow or knee, the wound will take longer to heal and stitches should be left in for a full two weeks. Stitches being left in for too long risk infection and painful extraction and stitches removed too soon can result in the wound opening up again.

How long until you can play football again after stitches in your foot come out?

It really depends on why the stitches were in there. If the stitches were there due to surgical implication i.e. fracture bone, ligament or tendon rupture, then you need to go through an appropriate amount of physical therapy to gain motion and strength back to the foot and ankle. If the stitches were there because you cut your foot on something, once the stitches come out, as long as the skin is closed you can play football. If you are worried, you can use krazy glue on the area that had the stitches or place a bandage on the area. I have had athletes play with stitches on as long as the area was well padded and bandaged up.

In riding schools who has right of way?

You ride left hand to left hand, so if you were circling to the right and someone else to the left, you would need to be on the inside track so that your left hand passed closest to their left hand as you passed each other. Then it works vice versa. As far as crossing the school is concerned you need to plan ahead, look forwards, be aware of where everyone is and be in full control of your horse.
