Belly Button News

refineJen
I forgot to update on my belly button news! It seems I lost a good portion of it. Again, I must cite the very complicated abdominal trauma from my crash (10/2018). I accepted after TT surgery that the belly button was iffy. This has helped me decide I probably won’t follow up with the vertical scar revision work I have planned with Dr Hill. I’m just sort of done. :)

I feel mostly recovered. Nightly swelling is getting better. My TT scar is “climbing” a bit. It seems to have some “attachment” issue. That’s the only way I can think to describe it. When I’m siting, it’s perfect. When I stand, it distorts significantly. I see Dr Hill Monday and I’ll address it. I’m sure he’ll say my tummy, scar, and scar issue make for complicated healing. I’m a smidge annoyed, as it seems to be getting worse, but I’m reserving my feelings til I hear what he says. The rest of the scar is BRILLIANT! I’m posting 2 same day pics. One sitting, one standing.
