I went back to work yesterday. I was exhausted last night. I'm not used to being on my feet all day. Have 3 track meets and 2 softball games this week and a 2.5 year old that needs her momma too! Sigh!!!! The life of a mom. Wouldn't trade it for the world!
I am using scar gel and paper tape on my incisions. I can tell a difference after 1 day. I debated the silicone strips and this technique. I decided to try this first. I'll post a pic and see what you ladies think.

Blister getting better after second day of antibiotic. Still feeling some tightness and muscle soreness but so so much better than this time last week!

I bought Walgreens brand of both the scar gel and the paper tape. So far, I'm impressed.

I still feel swelling below my armpit and up high. I think my right one has dropped more than the left. Not sure if that's because I'm right handed or not. My skin feels very sensitive. I told my husband it feels like a sunburn and your shirt is rubbing it. It sure would feel good to walk around with nothing on!! Haha

I'm heading to my post op appt. I'm hoping to get the stitches out. They are starting to bother me some. I can't tell if they are pulling or poking me. I'm a little nervouse to see my nipples without tape. I will post a pic after my appt.

I think they look pretty good. I need to look for scar treatment cream at the store. The nurse did tell me vitamin E works good. I'll post a picture.

Did he take the tape off. Curious what he has you put on the incisions for aftercare. Looking good and feel well!!

Tape off and the nurse took out 2 stitches. They told me I can use antibiotic cream on incisions. They look pretty good. Just like cut and paste!
