My Lily-C Scar Reductuon Therapy sheet has arrived!

I was interested to see that this kind of thing was available.  Being the kind of person that loves low rise bikini's I am defo interested in making my scar as invisible and flat as possible so I ordered this from Boots.com and paid £25.  I subsequently saw a seller on Ebay selling the same thing for £9 but cest la vie!

I am pleased it has arrived so I will be checking with the doctor tomorrow to see when I can start wearing it.  In the most part my wound is pretty much healed so  I think it shouldn't be long before I can wear the silicone sheet which amongst other things will mean I no longer have to wear grandma's pants!  I am so sick of those things I can't tell you.  I swear they may my belly hot and clammy!  Nice hey!


Another thing I will be trying out will be tissue massage in an attempt to reduce the amount of scar tissue adhesion to my skin and to my internal organs.  I will cover this in more depth (or with a link to you tube instead) in a later post.  Hopefully I will be able to start that at 3 or 4 weeks post surgery.  Fingers crossed.

I'm definitely off to the doctors tomorrow....

My wound is not hurting or as hot or feeling as thick as it did yesterday but it does not feel right and I want to check it out.

I also have an annoying bit of stitch hanging out of the left hand corner of the incision that I want to get snipped away and it was causing me some pain last week for two days although it feels better now, I don't think the stitches will ever disolve on the outside so I want them dealt with before they start affecting my healing process and also the scar that I will end up with once all this is over.

I also STILL have this damn UTI I am sure, even though my results aren't back with my temporary doctor so I will be chasing those results tomorrow and some medication as I hate being in pain when I pee.  I don't need that additional hassle right now.

My Wound Feels Weird Today

I've been at my sisters house all day today and although I've had a really lovely day spending time with family, I really think I should have stayed in bed and rested up.

My wound has thickened up slightly above the incision and below it.  It is worse on the right hand side which is where the largest fibroids were removed.  Maybe it is bruising or the wound repairing itself.  Yesterday my whole wound area, well slightly just above the incision felt incredibly hot.  Maybe that was just my body repairing itself.

Regardless of what I think it is, I am going to make an appointment for Friday unless it miraculously improves tomorrow.  I am not taking any chances when it comes to possible infection of either the wound or my innards!!!
