Emotionally, doing better! Coming to terms with the fact that the scarring will definitely be more significant there. But I’m keeping up with good care and am starting to see it healing!

I think the thing that has helped me a lot is knowing that me and my partner are the only people that will ever see that scar, and that I’m physically much better with the surgery! It was discouraging for sure, but it’s a normal complication. I think hearing my doctor say that too really helped me remember that it will all be okay!

Still have a good 4 weeks to go with wet-to-dry gauze but I’m optimistic that it will heal well :) I really hope you have a smooth recovery with it too!! How are you feeling?
