The Aftermath Part 4

Ok.  This scar in my belly button is getting gross now. It looks like something is growing “out” of it.  Must be scar tissue.  More scar tissue!  My follow-up went well.  I am actually getting achier as the days go on.  I worked hard this week and I think having surgery is still traumatic to your body…kind of like a car accident.  You begin to have aches and pains that were not there the 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd or even 4^th day.  Weird.  It’s almost like being in a car accident.  Thank God for husbands.

I’m just looking forward to relaxing this weekend and really letting my belly button heal.  I know I’m extra paranoid but it’s freaky to constantly be wondering if there’s an infection brewing in your belly button. 

The doctor said she was very happy that we did the surgery and that my incisions look fantastic and she is not worried about them at all.  She said there were a lot of adhesions and that we will go over the lab results and the pictures at the next post op.  Feeling sore but refreshed and hopeful!
