Sonie, after one of my surgeries (an ovary removal)I had tons of problems with it opening, infections, etc. (You know the drill). I was left with a huge red ugly bumpy lumpy scar, they called it fibrous tissue & also called it a large keloid. I had it injected (a LOT of injections) by a dermatologist with cortosone ... WOW did that hurt...but after some time it helped incredibly. It took a while to work completely. It softened up and sunk down, I was really happy. Before I had that done you could see it through some of my clothes... This was a while back, when I was a lot younger, not sure what they do in modern times!! lol
Gosh Girl I AM glad to be able to talk to you again!
Love Katie

Hi Sonie
The house sounds so nice and having a veranda
going all the way around the house that sounds so nice.I'm so happy for you and your family.
Now i wish the houses here in OZ had basements and attics i could feel them up so easy with all the stuff we have.
I know this is going to sound strange but do you have laundrys in houses there? or is the basement where you put washing machine and dryers?
Mid from OZ
hey mid..some houses are different...some have laundry rooms,some have washer dryer hookups in the basement..thats where mine is at..im so glad ben does all the laundry and i dont have to..lol..some dont have any laundry abilities at all,and in that case,you have to go to the laundry mat.....sonie
Wow having to go the laundry mat with clothes all the time that would be a pain.
Now ok here is another question that is going to sound strange.
But do you all hang your clothes out on a clothesline or do you mostly use the dryer?
Do you need to do anything to the house at all?
Wow...Great advice Linda and Katie. Great details.
Of course, a plastic surgeon! I had scar revision surgery two times. The skin/fat got so very puffy on either side of the scar. And, even when I was heavier when I was younger, I had a flat stomach. This thing stood out like a sore thumb. I figured I would have to just deal with it, but finally I went to see someone about it (a plastic surgeon, board certified...great point, Linda). So, the doctor took care of the "poof" and the thing settled down. Several doctors noticed how raw and rough it looked (zipper style cut/scar) and I didn't think it would ever blend in with the rest of my body. But, in a way it has. Still can be noticed, but it is about 90 % better than 5 years ago.
You never know where these discussions will lead and how helpful almost anything can be to another person. Well, that's my saying for the day!
Take care!
Mary
