not at the same time though lol!!!

Post op 5 weeks still have some scaring but was told this is normal. One scab is being a sod to go away and it can be itchy too which doesn’t help either.
I was surprised at how quick my bruises went but I think that was due to not having high sugars more than anything. Always a bonus though as I’d bruise and they’d take weeks to go not days.
