Terrie Syvertsen Laura, You and your incision look wonderful. I thought mine looked good. Your healing is wondrous! I think you should go out and buy a beautiful "green aventurine crystal and hang it on some soft satin cord to celebrate and protect your heart as it heals. (It is what I wear with a few added stones around my neck for the same reason. My Birth Chakra necklace hangs perfectly to protect my heart and my scar has also healed well so that one day it won't be as noticeable(not that I will ever find it something to hide as it marks my surgery as a day to celebrate Life. It is like our award to show off the delicate work of the brilliant hands of the person responsible for bringing together the incision in such a delicate and precise closure. Your incision was closed by an "Incision Master!" Very
happy for you as it is one of the best pieces of surgical work I have seen yet! May you, your husband, two little blessings and Family continue their loving support while you heal inside and out!
Elaine Foster Amazing! So encouraging for those of us waiting! Thanks. You look great
