Bittersweet
Last night as I was laying in our bed in the dark I ran my hand down over my stomach and tried to remember what I looked like way before I had any scars at all. I said something to Terry about it and he told me that when Dr. W took him into the consultation room when I was very sick and in grave danger, he told him that he was going to have to make a very long incision from just under my ribs all the way down. Terry told him "She isn't going to like that at all." To which Dr. W replied something to the effect of, "At least she will have the choice not to like it." Terry was right, I am not very happy about the way it looks or feels but at the same time I am very grateful to Dr. W for giving me the ability to hate it.
