Looking a bit tired from the insomnia but top of incision is doing fine. Bottom half still red and a welt. Mitral valve repaired on Oct 14th. This pic taken on Dec.31st Happy New Year!
Looking a little sleepy but very good! Is everything going more smoothly now?
Hi Susan, my surgery date was Oct. 19 and my scar looks exactly like what you described! Guess that's normal...I have to take ambien when I can't sleep, one half tab works fast, no waking up during the night, and no groggy effects. It's proscribed so maybe ask your doctor... Read more.

Looking good on the other side of your surgery, Susan!
Very nice, Susan. I hope you continue to feel better and better!
What does anyone recommend for putting on skin tears, like that one on the left in this pic? Just want to sooth it.
