Ok I think I got it this time...but if I didn't please dont assume that I am a ding bat. On the facebook page it said to use this link to view publically.

Here is the link:

The first pic is of my scar as of 18 days after surgery...a bit red I know.

To view the other pics I think that you just go through the album that this picture is from. The first ones are right when I got home from surgery, and if you ask me the incision looks better then.

nice! reminds me of some of mine! 2.5 weeks and you still got staples? hmmm? i have always gotten mine out by at least day 10-11. then just steri-strips. and is it just me or do you like the smell of the steri-strip spray glue?

Well they are keeping my staples in until the 7th becasue my surgeon says that it takes a longer time to heal when you are on prednisone. It does feel like a long time though. After the staples out I will have steri-srips, and in terms of the smell I am not sure. I haven't noticed it too much. When my nurse gooped me up with the extra glue for the steri strips I did not like that smell at all. Thanks for the comment!

I just had a look at all the facebook group that picture is in and I have to say it's great! When people ask me what crohn's is or to try to explain it, you reel of the symptoms/effect on your life- but you know what they say- a picture is worth a thousand words! and I think the pictures of those resection scars etc definately brings it on home that this is not a minor illness. One of my friends really wants to know about my crohn's but doesn't quite "get it". I think I might tell him to have a look at those pictures...at the same time though I don't want to scare people!!

(even though I have a habit of showing off my scar to everyone!!). recently I was doing my college finals exams and any time I'd start to panic/worry about them (or anything for that matter), I always give my scar a quick rub and it immediately reminds me of the bigger things in life and how exams and other such worries are not the be all and end all of life!!--so those resection scars- they are good for something!:-)

Feel free to share the pictures. I am here to recieve and also provide as much help as I possibly can. It is true what you say...a picture is worth a thousand words. People dont understand the severity of the disease, and then when I show them my scars they get a bit of a glimpse. If you ask me any diseae that requires surgery has to be somewhat serious.
