Scar therapy

$6,405
My scar scabs are all finally gone, so I am able to use my BioCorneum scar gel. I started that last Wednesday, and all is well. I had a couple of loose stitches, and a poky stitch that still hasn't worked itself out, but it's not causing me any grief. It could be a strange coincidence, but I have also developed a rash all over my body! No fever, no itching, just streaks of bumps on my body from my neck down! I went to the doctor today, and gave her my whole story. She wasn't too concerned since I wasn't sick or feverish, so gave me a course of steroids to take. The timing is strange. I went back on Spark and started my scar cream on Thursday. Rash appears Friday night, goes away after Benadryl, comes back with a vengeance Wednesday, now Benadryl has had no effect!

i'm 21 days today, so i think we were both feb 18th-ers.. strangely, i have a mild rash on my chest-itching/small bumps. i think it might be from using a lush massage bar though. i have heard great things about dr. adams. i had dr. white.
Are you not concerned about being allergic to the implants? I have read of that occurring.

Finally found a comfy bra!

I found it at Sears of all places! I scoured the mall and every sporting goods store in my area trying to find something that fell farther down on my ribs, and away from my incisions, and ran across a two pack of these!

I think I will look there. I found something very similar at J.C. Penney and bought two. One fit, the other was a front wrap style and the cups were two small.

It was a brand called "Ambrielle".

I like the color of the one in the pic, tho. What brand is it?
I think it was just a generic house brand. They are basically bralettes and came in a 2 pack for $20. I got the style in the photo in black and the turquoise, and a spaghetti stamp version that they consider more of a "crop top". I like them even better because they come down even farther on my ribs, and don't touch my incisions at all! I will try and post a pic of the tag...
That looks comfy, and that's what I always Winder how those darn surgical bras look like they would rub the insicion.
It's amazing! I have been fidgiting with my bra bands all week! I finally started wearing a Nike dry fit tank top against my skin, then put the surgical bra on top of that! It worked wonders, but would get all bunched up at times. I finally started leaving the bottom couple of hooks undone to make it looser!
