A Healing Back

Disclaimer #1: The indentation you see is not my backside crack! It is just the way my back is formed. The incision is mid-back and well away from anything too personal.

Disclaimer #2: There is no blood in the pictures, but it is a surgical scar. If you are the squeamish type, you may want to skip this post.

Why am I posting photos of my healing incision? For several reasons, one of which being that this blog functions as my journal. And, I cannot see my back, so Craig obliged me by taking the photos so I could. (I think Lisa took one, too.) Finally, I consider having had this surgery a big blessing; I feel so much better. And thus I want to document what the Lord has done for me.
July 11 - Home with the bandage off. (Yay for being able to shower again!) The bruising is not as bad as I expected.
 July 16 - Happy Birthday, Kyle! And boy, do those staples itch!
 July 19 - my father's 93rd birthday. Looking good!
 July 20 - ready to get those pesky staples out tomorrow.
 July 21 - They're out and the itching has gone away.
 July 22 - Far less red looking.
July 26 - Beginning to fade.

July 30 - So much better!
