Robin, we are all somewhat impatient so it is important to relish every sign of improvement. This wasn't too hard for me because I was quite ill before surgery. Even so, if you consciously note every indication that you are getting better it is easier to maintain your perspective. Take care.

Actually, it looks pretty good. It should heal up nicely. Give it a year or two and you'll hardly see it at all. Just keep it out of the sun for 12 months.

You'll get so used to it you'll stare at people who Don't have permanent zippers.

I think for 1 month it looks real good.It will keep getting lighter.I am at almost 11 months and I can barely see mine.

Looking good Robin, hard to believe it's a month already. hope your feeling good 12 weeks today for me , it went so quick and I'm feeling so much better too. Keep up the good work.

I do have moments during the day that I can tell my heart is working better. My breathing is better. I have lost 15 pounds and my skin seems so much clearer.....so really I think that shows I just was not functioning as well as I should have been. I start Cardiac Rehab in 2 weeks and I think that will be good for me too. Right now I know I am hesitating when I think I am doing to much and might hurt my heart or sternum.

Looks great Robin! I think it takes quite a while for the red color to go away. I'm at 3 mo. and still have the red color. But I think it'll evenutally go away for the most part - I'm thinking at about 6-9 mo or so.

It is looking great Robin. Wear it like it a medal for what you have had to experience. I look at mine which is pretty bad but I don't care if there is a bad scar for this scar of mine represents the huge obstacle that I have overcome in my life!
