The right incision is almost gone. (I actually put an arrow to help point to it since it&#8217;s so hard to see in the photo!) The left one is still tender and sensitive. I made the mistake of accidentally scratching it today &#8211; totally mindless, just a natural reflex &#8211; and it HURT really bad when I did that. My belly button is still really aggravatingly tender and it gets achy wearing pants. Any amount of pant wearing is unacceptable to it. Damned re-attaching nerves! LOL<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve had less swelling lately which is good. In fact, someone yesterday asked me if I lost weight and said I looked really good. So that was a nice comment to hear. (Since the swelling has really been a downer.)<\/p>\n<p>Next week is the big one so we&#8217;ll see a week from now if things are as good internally as they appear externally.<\/p>\n<p><center>Hysterectomy Fund<\/p>\n<form action=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr\" method=\"post\">\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"cmd\" value=\"_s-xclick\"><br \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"hosted_button_id\" value=\"PDMCQL66KLDVQ\"><br \/>\n<input type=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paypalobjects.com\/en_US\/i\/btn\/btn_donateCC_LG.gif\" border=\"0\" name=\"submit\" alt=\"PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paypalobjects.com\/en_US\/i\/scr\/pixel.gif\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\"><br \/>\n<\/form>\n<p>Donation Shop: <a href=\"http:\/\/PhoenixFunds.etsy.com\">http:\/\/PhoenixFunds.etsy.com<\/a><br \/>\nMy Shop: <a href=\"http:\/\/PhoenixFireDesigns.etsy.com\">http:\/\/PhoenixFireDesigns.etsy.com<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today marks 5 weeks post-op since my hysterectomy.
