thanks – it is what is there that one cannot really see that probably hurts the most.
(the medal is pretty darn cool:)

Wow, you are very inspiring! xo

Thank you. The big scar is quite impressive – at least my boys think so – mom/metal/bionic mom. It’s the scars that barely show which are the least impressive.

Looks like you had a great surgeon, with a delicate hand. It’s very neat and tidy and thin. All you could want in a scar. 🙂

it is so funny you would say that – i actually had a surgical student! i was told by someone i could have had staples, but i was taken to a teaching hospital (I was in no shape to designate where i wanted to go – plus i was in another state far from home by myself). it seems that the over 100 stitches were practice:)

You lucked out then!! Staples look hideous, and they can leave a series of nearby scars, depending on the size staples. They made me feel like Frankenstein when I had them. I hated them.
