Drum Roll, Please...

After surgery Dr. Galante covered both of my incisions (SCARS) with this clear tape-like stuff and said it would eventually come off. Well, this has been like complete torture for me because all I have wanted to do for the past three weeks was peel it off to see the damage. Like I had mentioned early on; I have been so fortunate my entire life to have never have needed stitches... So of course what do I do? I run out and create my own.

After my Mother had her surgery Dr. Galante said he was not pleased with the way her scars had healed. I'm not sure if this is due to the fact she did too much after her surgery or if that is just the way her scars healed. Her scars kind of look like some weird insect. They are raised above the skin and it appears that you can see exactly where each of the stitches were. Needless to say, I have been so anxious to see mine and I finally was able to peel the bandages off late last night.

Here's where the Drum Roll comes in... Ta da! They are Beautiful. I was picturing something similar to my Mom's, but they look nothing like hers. They are the tiniest lines that fall perfectly under each crease. The color is a very light shade of pink, which was also a pleasant surprise. I was expecting a purplish-pink color, but my scars are barely visible. Today having the tape off was a tad different because my bra was rubbing directly on each of the incisions. This caused them to be irritated and painful at the end of the day, but that is OK because they look so good! I see Dr. Galante Monday to see if he agrees, I'm pretty sure he will!
