Well, here's the new look....The first shot is the shoulder incision and it is looking good....a little sore still but the divot that appeared after the infected stitch (or whatever it was) came out after the 2nd surgery is not there any more. It has some peely skin but the underneath bit is nice and smooth. It looks like one long scar but it is really 2 cuts one after the other.
This pic and the one after are the new cut on the back of my arm. That is where the new plate was put in to fix the break that didn't heal with the titanium rod, aka 'Nail'. Dr. Stein had to go fishing to thread my nerve (the main one that runs down your arm) out of the scar tissue and free it to heal again and hopefully the break will too.
This is almost the same shot but you can see the puckers a little better....those are from the staples and when the little scabs that are there dry up and come off, it will start getting dosed with some Bio-Oil or Maderma Scar Ointment or something....I'm not too vain but I will try to give it a little help to look a bit better.
And Since I have been such a good camper and I have been wearing my sling
and behaving like a good patient, Big Daddy Ledger let me get my pedicure updated so at least my toes look groovy....I got a French so it just looks fresh and clean.....I do love the pampering of getting my feet done....it's my favorite thing. These are my toes pictured up against Sam, my Shitz-a-Poo (cocker-poo/Shiz Tsu mix) my personally coined phrase for my mutt...but I love my little Sammy-Sam....he sleeps in the small of my back and keeps me warm. After all three surgeries, he has spent endless hours laying with me on the bed and worrying about me....and licking my cotton blanket....he has some kind of a fetish. Freaky little dog!!
I'm out for now....XOXOXOXOXOXOXO AL
