my scar - day five. |
In the fall of 2008 I was diagnosed with Chiari Malformation -Type 1. I learned to accept & live with my symptoms and was trying to put off the surgery as long as possible. In the fall of 2010 I developed Syringomyelia and was told I should have surgery asap. I had a successful decompression surgery by Dr. Oro on 11.16.10 and with as good as I feel, I would like to consider me "cured"

25 staples in a nice straight line.
I have had a handful of visitors and surprisingly I am always kind of excited to show off my scar. You won't be able to see it for long. My hair will grow over it and very little is below my hairline at my neck. I was not expecting it to be that long and to have that much hair shaved but I am used to it now.

OMG Lisa!!!! Crazy scar!
ReplyDeleteYou DO have a zipper on your head...just like Caro said!
ReplyDeletei had envisioned that it would have been lower. wowee that is an epic scar.
ReplyDeletei also thought it would go lower.
ReplyDeleteThe top scar is where they removed membrane to repair the actual fix, which is the lower part. When my hair grows out you will never see it.
