39 Year Old, 2 Grown Children, Previous C-section Scar. - Gastonia, NC

I went to the christmas show today. I did a lot of walking and my back is feeling it. We were there from 11:00- 6 pm and everybody and there bother was there. Lol. I'm swollen but I can tell my body is definitely healing. It feels better having the compression garmet on but when I've been standing and walking for long periods of time I have to take it off. I have noticed on my scar on the far right it hurts to just touch it. It seems to look a little red I'm hopping it's not getting infected. I will stop putting lotion on it and Neosporin until the redness goes away. I thought it might be from lipoed areas but it's not. Anyways I'm loving my new belly so far I fell like I walk around with my breath held but of course I'm not. It makes you feel amazing to not have to worry about rolls around my belly anymore :)

Seen my PS today. Drain is out "can you say Amazing"! You don't realize how much it get in your way and makes everything uncomfortable! When they removed the first one it did not hurt but this one, ouch! PS said everything was looking great! He told me to continue with Neosporin on spot in middle and put a band aid over it only. He said belly button is looking good no more Neosporin there. He told me to start massaging my incision, except for spot in middle, to smooth out ripples on either side. To push down and toward the back to guide skin into a smoother position. He told me my scar in the center would be a little wider once it healed than the sides. The center would be about 4-5 mm and sides should be about 3 mm in width. He said down the road if we need to we can do revision in center if I'm unhappy with. Nurse told me I may only have to wear compression garmet 1 more week and then I should be fine since drain is out. She said the garmet only keeps fluid from building up in areas where there is wounds. Hoping by explaining some of this it might help someone . :) thanks to all my supporters out there in RS world.
