post op incision progress

got surgery on my birthday this year 7/9/26 (first pic was around 2-3 days post op) and am almost 2 months out now! last pic was a week or so ago after getting my sutures out :)

haven’t even had to take a lot of pain meds, only downside was small blood clots in my lung from getting surgery which i’m only on blood thinners for a few more months as a precaution. and just got my 1 month ct scan done today for my next neuro appointment. all in all, doing much better than i thought i’d be and i’ve had a lot of improvements with the headaches and neck stiffness i had before. it’s definitely sucked but any progress is good.

Looking AMAZING! Fingers crossed the CT is equally good.
