Removing the Bandages

We went to visit the surgeon today and she took off Enrique's bandages.

It's a very thin horizontal line, about two inches long, right where Enrique's neck meets his chest. The skin comes together like a seam on a piece of clothing where the pattern meets up, but the two sides don't quite match.

I think it looks fine. It certainly doesn't distract from his good looks.

There was no mirror in the surgeon's consultation room so he had to wait a while to see it. Once he did, he was a little upset. But he seems to be over it now.

There's good news and there's bad news for the future of the scar. As it heals, it will look better. But they may have to enlarge it significantly during the next surgery.

[Update: he just came out of the bathroom and said, "You know, it's really not that bad." He's right.]
