@hyc thank you! I still can't do my full walk, but I might be able to pull that off tomorrow. I'm able to go without painkillers as long as I move carefully.

Managed not to flash the camera and increase the content rating of this post, but I'm still rocking the steri-strip chic look. You can still see the bruising under my navel.
Me holding up my shirt for a careful mirror selfie. I have semi-transparent adhesive strips over four incisions, three around the edge of my ribcage, and one above my belly button.

@MaddieM4 Yowzers, that's a lot. I hope you don't feel it much with your breathing. Also, curious about the bellybutton one and if that's actually healing faster than the other incisions? hope that's not tmi

@mei Hah! The bellybutton one is healing the slowest, at this point. Original some of the lower incisions were giving the most trouble, and I felt like I couldn't lean too far forward or back without my guts rearranging in a surreal and terrifying way. But now those are finally settling in, and it's the the big hole in the middle that's sore all the time.

@MaddieM4 Ahh, fun. Skin tension taking over, is my guess. Though I couldn't find anything to corroborate that
