hysterectomy latest. week 8 plus

so... my scar is shrinking with the use of Bio-Oil.  Love IT!  I put it on first thing in the morning and just before I go to sleep.

It's still pretty bright red - but time.   and it is still high, higher than I'd like.  but... I'll get used to it.  I'm not going to let it stop me from wearing my low rise pants, or belts or bikinis - they mostly hit right on the scar anyway.  If it doesn't disappear I'll just have to get an awesome tattoo.  But I'm going to at least give it a year.

the jelly belly swelling over it is starting to recede.  If I could just get off my @$$ and exercise more... I'm sure that would disappear.  Which reminds me... Still feeling it with exercise, but nothing I can't work through.  It just feels like a comfortable stretch more than anything. 

Sex is awesome although... I admit to being a tiny bit afraid of seeing more blood.  So we are being conservative.  No swinging from the chandeliers or anything like that.  Maybe for valentines day....

Do you want me to post a photo?  or have you guys had enough of me exposing myself on the internet.

I tried Bio Oil on my neck and it made me itch. :\

Photos are fine. :)

hmmm. I'm sorry that it didn't work for you. I'm generally so sensitive to lotions and what not that I figure if I don't react to something it must be okay for everyone. I should just be overjoyed that it works for me.

I'll post a photo - eep. another day. I've run out of time today.

I find the pictures interesting. It's a good reference in cas I (or any friends) have to have a hysterectomy.

will do. :)

Hopefully they'll or you'll be able to have laparoscopic but if not you'll be able to stress to the surgeon WHERE THE H*LL it is okay to cut.

*I should never have believed him when he said bikini line. What does he think I wear to the beach - a ONE PIECE? Could be worse I could have a vertical incision.
