1 week post op

We pulled the bandages off today and things are looking good. This was also taken about 30 minutes after I fell out of the hammock during my afternoon nap. Fortunately no damage, but it could have been close.

It looks great and is nice and small. Do you have stitches? since it looks like it is slightly raised and not flat, like glued incisions.
I'm glad you didn't hurt your self with the hammock fall.
I'll never forget about a week after Justin surgery when he was 10 we went to an Eagles game and the steps (metal) were wet and he slid down a few on his back. I almost had a heart attack and people looked at me like I was nuts, until they saw his chest when I lifted his shirt to make sure he was fine. Justin wasn't fazed, all he was talking about was how cool it was he fell down a couple steps and didn't spill any of his drink.

The stitches are on the inside and will dissolve over time. A bunch of wire holding the sternum together that will be in there forever from what I understand.

Hey Bean Counter, would you mind posting a recent picture of your scar. Did all the stitches dissolve? Is it looking nice and flat now?

I'd really appreciate a shot to see how it healed.

Thanks,
Vadim
