Christ m8 - you are in the wars arent you?! Feel for ya stranded at home again!
Dunno what your experience is / atitude is towards nutritional medicine but you might wish to look up 'MSM' - Methyl-Sulfonyl-Methane - it's a pretty damn good super-supplement and I understand it plays a very useful role in repairing such structures as tendons and ligaments due to its facilitation of collagen formation - anyway - it's a natural substance and there is plenty of google-able info on it.
Wish you better soon m8.

You cant wash the wound for a week in order to avoid causing an infection - washing the wound before it's nicely sealed risks foreign bodies entering the wound. Looks proper painful m8!

You can wash that.. in fact its recommended to help keep the infection down. We tell all our patients going home wth stitches to wash with soap and water and dry it with a clean towel. It will make it feel better too
