Hey, all!
I am home now. HOME HOME HOME, oh, how I missed you! I love my parents and my sister, but I am so happy to be wandering around in my underwear, smoking a cigarette INSIDE and making however much noise I want (or how little).
Tomorrow, I update my resume and start sending out applications. But today, I took a nap (in my own bed -- why do all my family members sleep in twins? WHY? I only have a double but the comfort improvement is emormous) and I'm catching up on all my internet stuff, with one of my cats curled in my lap. She keeps trying to eat my surgery hydrangea -- I had to put it in top of the fridge. Silly furball.
YAY HOME! I'm so glad you're back, Erin! How are you feeling?
I feel good. My insision is starting to itch, tho! And they..er, shaved me, and that's something I don't do personally (thank you, genetics!) and that itches awfully, too. I keep groping myself. Again, another reason to be glad I'm home!
Other than that, I feel pretty great. I keep staring at my NAST ceiling fans with new eyes and wondering when I can clean them...

FYI, you might want to get cocoa butter and vitamin E to minimize the scar.
They didn't have to shave me, thank god. (TMI whitefont)
I waxed once for vacation with a man (yes, I'm embarrased). When it came back in, it drove me INSANE. Now, I just trim with scissors.
I've learned my lesson.
Oh hell yes. It only takes once to learn that particular lesson.

Does it really work, megan? I've heard yes, and no...I'll probably do it, but I wonder when I can start slapping on the mooisterizer.
I've never had to wax or shave, so it's driving me NUTS. Also, I'm wondering WHY they did it -- my slice is at least three inches up from any foliage...and we're talking sad little autumn leaves on the sidewalk, not a full glorious oak in summer.
Erin, I highly recommend Mederma as a cheap topical cream to reduce scars. It made a huge difference when I used it consistently.
I've heard you shouldn't use vitamin E right away though...I'd do some research on that...
See, now, the few times I've shaved that area, it itched like crazy growing back. But waxing doesn't itch for me growing back (possibly becuase it's not all growing back at once, if it was done properly). If waxing weren't so freakin' EXPENSIVE I'd have it done all the time.
