Warning: the following is hard to look at

Here is a picture the surgeon took of me on the table.  It may be difficult to look at but this is what was removed.

8 weeks post-op - 5 hours after shot

Redness has faded faster than I imagined.

8 weeks post-op swollen after shot

Not a beautiful pic of myself but, this is a few hours after the cortizone shot and I'm swollen.

8 weeks post surgery

Doctor thought the scar was too red so he gave me two shots of cortizone.  It stings pretty bad right now - got the shots about 20 minutes ago.  Go back in 4 weeks.  If it's still red, the doctor wants to laser it!
