Week 2 K/R – Scars revealed (people with weak stomachs should not look)
Scars revealed for the first time
Today I finally got to take my patches off, and reveal my scars for the first time to the world (I saw them yesterday when the original patches came off and new ones were applied).
As you can see there’s a total of 6 marks: 1 long one (5 stitches), 3 smaller ones (one stitch each), and 2 small holes. Unfortunately the smaller hole became infected, so I was provided with some brown ointment to apply on it after my shower to help clean it up.
I’m quite happy with the scars, since they long cuts are really quite thin. Hopefully it means they’ll heal and fade away much faster. Knowing my luck, that’s going to be the look of my knee for the next 5 years! Have I mentioned how much I love jeans (aka covering up my legs – yeah, that’s why they’re so white). My knee is still a little swollen too, although it might not be so obvious in that image. Particularly around the bottom of the image, leading to my thighs. It’s extremely round….
Now to have my first shower in 2 weeks where I haven’t had to spend 10mins wrapping plastic around my leg. Woohoo!
