Online Support Meeting - Exercise...and Other...

Hey Russ, Anne Rice Ancients The aspirations becoming less needed? My seroma was a bioch, but the final results are great. I was told to make sure I drank extra water as counter-intuitive as that seemed And my nutritionist said that eating parsley and celery and any of the other naturally diuretic foods would help. I may have passed that on before, but no memory cells are working tonight. I’ve been PhotoShop-ing image files for a projection design all day and my mind is numb. Once everything heals up and it’s just a matter of reducing the look of the scars… here’s some info I found out. The scar reduction creams –like Mederma? ScarZone? Any of the typical Cream in a tube products, Don’t do much of anything. If you have a large enough clear surface (not covered with hair growing in) You can use those "Scar reducing Silicone Bandages" They are semi-see through. They do wonders!!! Due to the skin graft taken from my leg to cover my open Torso, as well as the scar running up my leg from removing a vein to use in a heart bypass, I’ve had some scars. Hell, probably more scar tissue than some of these shrinking guys have skin! Those silicon pads will reduce the redness / purple-ishness of the scars by about 60%. I was amazed. They’re not supposed to be used until everything has healed up, but after that? The sooner, the better. For my Panniculectomy scars, I used them on the sides. (where love handles used to be) Those scars are skin colored now. I didn’t even attempt using them on the front. The thought of ripping out pubes was just too much. I’d rather have the "thin red line." Hope all is going great for you! Family’s doing super. My son’s band is competing in a ‘battle of the bands" this weekend and they’ve been at my house "jamming" for the last 5 days!!! I’m looking forward to a Quiet weekend at home. Best wishes- Dx
