i am worried it won't be joined back together and that I'll keep bashing it. There are some funny feelings coming from the wound bit sore and I have needle like sensation.. Will have a look tomorrow and let you know

my surgeon did one long continuous stitch which dissolved plus there were no ends to clip off
the scar looked so ugly att first
but now 13weeks post op it is just a thin line ..a bit red in places but so neat
all I need now is to be pain free.
so take heart the scar will be almost invisibleby Summer
