A year ago today...

Today marks one year since I've been sliced open.. to celebrate I've decided to share pictures.

Before 

day after surgery. god that week was a blur. 
I can't tell you how much I hate pain pills, aren't they supposed to suppress the pain? NOT make you throw up.  
At least I learned that I'm allergic to pretty much anything stronger than Tylenol extra strength :-/


Here's my left leg.  If only it looked this nice now :-/
Instead I have a big scar. BUZZKILL.

Right leg, this scar's a beauty.  Much nicer than it's counterpart.

  1. OHHHH Kate, This brings back some very vivid memories....I felt sooo bad for you. I still can't believe they were going to make you walk to the bathroom in order to leave the hospital...and the look on your face when you tried moving those legs for the first time...Some things this old brain will never forget! Glad it's all behind you now.
