THESE DARN STITCHES!
Most of them have dissolved, but there are still a couple on the underside beneath where my frenulum was that are driving me crazy!! Going back to the clinic for a check-up on Friday as I approach my first month post-op, hoping the doctor will remove them for me... although he has said they need to dissolve/fall out by themselves, grr! Still, I seem to have healed up very nicely and I've been left with a lovely, neat, perfectly circular scar! The donut swelling's gone all puffy now too, so I'm hoping that means I'm close to returning to a normal shape. It's been quite the journey so far, and despite finding the first week an emotional rollercoaster it's been a lot less difficult than I thought it would be! To think I used to worry about it hurting when I haven't had to take painkillers since the first week!
