Should you have a hole where your wisdom teeth were three days after the surgery or did your stiches fall out?
Yes, three days after surgery you will definitely still have a hole. It will probably take a few weeks to a month (on average) for the hole to close completely. As for stitches if you don't have dissoluble stitches you should go back to your dentist in about a week to have them removed, however I would recommend you ask your dentist for dissoluble stitches so you don't have to worry about any discomfort that may come with their removal.
How many days after your stitches are removed can you swim?
Surgical sutures or stitches are usually removed 7-14 days after surgery. Removal of stitches should be done ONLY by a physician or physician assistant after examination and under sterile comditions in order to avoid complications including opening of the wound, infections, and even life threatening conditions. The physician will evaluate the stitches and surgical wound to determine whether it has healed sufficiently that if the sutures are removed the wound will not open. Stitches are usually snipped with small suture scissors and pulled out with forceps under standard surgical sterile conditions. In areas of high skin stress, like the knee, shoulder, elbow or ankle, and thus, typically after after orthopedic surgery, the surgeon may choose to remove surgical sutures longer than 14-21 days after surgery.

OK to get WET after 5 days, but make sure not to soak it or have it under water (no baths, no pool, no beach) than your stitches should come out and you still shouldn't have it underwater for a week or two. hope i helped =] I had knee surgery recently and this is what the doctor told me to do with my surgery wounds.

Should you be able to open your jaw very wide after wisdom teeth removal If you can't open your teeth more than an inch 3 days after removal is this normal?
From my experience with wisdom teeth removal, yes, it is very normal. I can't even tell you how long it was before I was able to open my jaw wide like before. Not only do the stitches in your mouth keep the skin very tight, you're also going to have a stiff jaw from having your mouth open through the surgery! It is normal to have decreased function of your mouth for a while after surgery. But definitely talk to your dentist if you think something is really not normal.
How long is the recovery for knee plica removal?
I just had a large plica band removed via arthroscopy in my left knee along with a debridement of a pretty large meniscus tear. Four days after surgery, I went to work, and the next day was mowing the grass. Took a 1 mile walk with no problems on the sixth day after surgery. Stitches were removed after two weeks and my knee feels almost as good as new, and certainly better than just before surgery.
