Bottle Scar; Not Battle Scar



The cast--that constricting, annoying contraption--is finally off of my forearm.  They doctor says the tendon is healing well but is still swollen deep inside, underneath the layers of skin and fat and muscle.  The arm feels weak right now, tender in certain spots, painful in others.  But there is nothing as unnerving as the sight of the scar!  Here's the big reveal...check out the photos...gross!  To think that a plastic surgeon worked on it.  It looks like a frankenstein-ish patch-up.  The doctor says it will definitely fade and recede into the skin more.  It bothers me only a wee bit because I'm just glad to have been put back together.
