SEVEN MONTHS POST-OP.

The picture on the top is of the fusion incisions one week after surgery, while the picture on the bottom is how they look after seven months. The scar left by the drainage tube has really minimized, and the lengths of the scars have decreased. The pinkness is starting to fade and the scar tissue has increased.

All in all, they don't look so bad. They are obviously healing and that is a wonderful thing. I can still feel outlines of the hardware underneath, and occasionally I cannot feel the skin between the incisions being touched. Must be a nerve issue. But folks, they're getting better and that's a good sign!
