Yesterday I finally got my 31 staples removed. The top by my neck and the bottom really hurt. Hard to believe they were in there a month! First surgery they only leave them two weeks but a "redo" takes longer to heal. My scar is hot pink and long. YIKES. Good thing I am not vain. I have a wedding in two weeks and there is nothing I can wear that will camoflauge it. I am also worrying about clothes rubbing on it. Still cannot drive for two to four more weeks but I don't think I would have stamina anyway to shop so that's okay.
I posted a comment answering all the comments on the previous post. I love your comments and good wishes. People have offered to send meals and other generous things. I don't have much of an appetite and it hurts to do most things that require use of my arms. I have to be careful now that the staples are out, the incision isn't 100% healed yet. I'm not allowed to cook and I think that is the thing I miss the most. I love to cook and bake. The Fall is coming and there will be lots of time to bake. We just have to get through the hurricane first this weekend.

Hope you got through the hurricane with no serious repercussions. My family in Maryland survived Irene's wrath. I bet you are relieved to have the staples out. But you are right to worry about clothing bothering it. I have a 15 inch scar from an operation I had over 30 years ago and to this day clothes will irritate it and open it up again. Have fun at the wedding. It will be a wonderful distraction.
