Scar Pic's Gross Warning

This one is the Femur one, messy but fundamentally ok, only about 6 inches long compared to the 12 inches before.
This is the Pelvic Scar with the wider part first, what do you guys think?? This one is 6 inches long too, same as last time x



Today we changed the dressings as they looked filthy and they have been incredibly itchy as well. And the one i was worried about seems fine, just a lot of dried blood, but the steri strips are covered in ti and i can't wet them because they would then come away, and it's not time for that yet. But the pelvic one i wasn't worried about has a bit that is wider than the other part and has a dip where the steri strips lay inside the scar. This means the scar is going to be messy if it heals like this. I had felt like this scar nagged a little more than the other, but put that down the to area in which it is situated. So bit stressed out to be honest, so i will be visiting a doctor to see what my next step can be. I hope they can push the edges together somehow and put it back under some tension?? Probably asking too much, but scared. Now it stings, and taking the dressings off makes me feel weird and a bit sick, Does anyone else get like that? Or are you as hard as nails? Lol

Recovery is going well, when i'm allowed to recover and relax (not often for some reason!) I have to vent as i feel like i have the laziest family ever, My Hubby bless him is doing all the Dad chores as well as most of mine and the house bills, shopping etc... So this leaves some house work and washing up for the kids to do, Bare in mind they are 16, 13 yrs old i have a 10yr as well and she does what she can. But for some reason the 2 can not wash up 5 plates and cutlery without arguing and stropping and stomping off, which fills our house with negativity and stress, not good for someone that is meant to be relaxing and recovering after major surgery!!
But besides my kid rant, recovery is ok i think, i have some some leg flexing and raising as physio's said i could do any exercises i wanted to do straight away bar impact or jolting movements which is obvious.

Hope everyone else is healing well, recovering well, sending you all healing thoughts and positive vibes.

Sold loads of jewellery too this week, so super busy and happy. Just need my hips to realise this and join me x
