    hi ann, 

    rolleyes I have 2 !!!! and it looks as if I have 2 zippers -

    Mine were sensitive to the touch for a while so wearing loose and soft fabric things - couldn't bear the stiff harsh feel of denim except when I put a dressing on it - just use it as a buffer ...

    it will get less for sure ... regulare massages will also help to get used to the scar to be rubbed and touched ---

    how are you doing otherwise?

    big warm hug

    renee
