Today I took the tape off of my scar. I am so happy with how low the scar is. I was told the scar would most likely go from my collar bone to a few inches below my breasts. For a few days after the surgery I even thought I had staples holding it together. I was so nervous today when I was peeling away the tape because the dried blood underneath made the scar look a lot thicker. Now I just have to take care of it so it heals nicely for January.
Note: I got a little burn from the tape that was used on my neck IV. You can't see all of the bruises on my neck and arms, but when Julien and I go to to store, it almost looks like we're in an abusive relationship. I walk like a wounded animal and he has to help me with everything. And, I'm covered in bruises. :P
The scar is definitely not as big as I was expecting. And that is actually a really good picture of you! You look super pretty. I guess surgery agrees with you (but I also think freckles are adorable and am envious, soooo).
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tania. Unlike you, I love compliments!!! I am surprised the freckles have stuck around this long, actually. Especially after being stuck in the hospital for five days!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, you are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteSecond, your scar is a lot lower than mine! Well, the bottom stops in the same place, but the top doesn't go as high, which is actually really awesome.
Good luck with everything!
