How long does a deep cut with stitches take to heal?

Asked by xTheDreamer (897points) September 19th, 2012

I’ve had an accident with the bike where the heel of my foot went into the bike spokes and it cut really deep just missing the achilles’ tendon, I needed 9 stitches.

I was wondering how long does it take to heal cause I really want to longboard back before it gets too cold or rainy and before winter comes.

For the one who wants to know how deep my cut is(if you’re squeamish don’t look, it’s graphic):
