sistawendy: me looking confident in a black '50s retro dress (mad woman)
I got the last of my stitches out yesterday, and I no longer need to wear ace bandage during the day, just at night. How do I look? Well, the scar under my chin is still angry, with a few lumps and puckers. There's only one lump remaining on my face, though, and even that might not be noticeable to anyone but me. I hesitate to post pics because a) it's a bother and b) my face probably needs at least another couple of weeks for things to really settle down.

The difference thus far is subtler than I expected. Maybe that's due to swelling, or maybe that's because I now look more like how I've always thought I looked. I've told the Tickler she can be the first to sit on my new face next month.

Will I get more work done, for example to get rid of my vexatious eyebrow ridges? Signs point to no. This wasn't painful or unreasonably expensive, but recovery is time-consuming and full of chores, and any further work promises to be more so as well as more expensive.
