AVR Scar - One Week Post Op.

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

  1. 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).

  2. Thanks, 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!

  3. First of all, you are so pretty!

    Second, 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!
