Revision A Week Later
WORTH IT$10,000
So last week I had part of my TT scar revised. I’m not sure if it was he procedure itself or the anesthetic injected was he cause, but I spiked a fever late Wednesday and had one until mid-day Saturday. Fortunately no infection. The incision site hurt mostly due to the location, but not bad. Mostly it is just annoying. I can’t wait for the tape to fall off so I can see the new scar. I attached a photo from the first day of the procedure to show the length of the removal.

Sorry this is so delayed. I have been super busy working, interviewing for a new job and preparing for my last child to graduate in a couple of months. I've been doing pretty well. I am still amazed at my new figure although its been almost a year and a half later. It feels so good to feel great about how I look in my clothes now.

Day After Revision
Yesterday’s revision title should’ve said 6 am not pm. I had a fitful night. The incision was more painful than I expected. It started bleeding, but my daughter fixed me right up. She was a little too eager as always. Perhaps it’s a combination of being my daughter and a nurse, lol. Anyway, I could only sleep 2 hours at a time. I’ve been staying on top of ibuprofen to help with pain. It hurt to walk for a while yesterday and I had to sleep on my back or left side. I think it’s the location of the incision that’s causing me so much agony. I still have pain when I move wrong or forget that 5 inches was sliced out sewn back together yesterday. Tomorrow will be better :-). Oh, the nurse did call to check on me. Since it was a minor procedure I did not expect it, but it was nice all the same.

Revision Done 6:40 pm MST
So it took about 30 minutes. Let me just say that the anesthetic injection was a [RS bleep]. It burned so freaking bad that I was gripping the surgical table to steady myself. One it started working it was all good. So weird feeling your body tugged on during suturing. I had stitches put in my forehead when I was 5 but can’t say I remember the sensation. Will be glad to get home and get some sleep. I will keep updating with this revision to see if it was worth it. Take care and happy healing.

Glad to hear that you are finished! What you described about the anesthetic injection and pressure sensation is exactly why I requested being put slightly under for my revision! Anxiety is not my best friend in any situation! Plus, I think my revision (to be done sometime in March) may be somewhat more complicated due to the horrible holes I had in my incision that took 8 months to heal. I wish you excellent healing and look forward to your next update.
I am glad I came in to check on you, I was wondering what ended up happening! I sure do not like the thought of being awake during surgery for a scar revision... eeeekkk!! I am looking forward to seeing the new scar, did you by chance take a before close up to compare to the after? I will be needing a revision on my right hip also, and I am super nervous for it.
I hope you are doing well since your last update! And I also hope you had a nice holiday weekend with your family :)
