Progression of a hip (incision/scar pics warning....)


These pics of my left hip incision show a great progression of how the scar is healing! Internal sutures and glue with steri-strips hold it together. You'll see it from when the dressing was first taken off to just recently, at week 6. Also, the xray progression of my hips, from beginning to present...and finally, the screws from the right hip. The right hip incision looks the same, it is impossible to tell where Z made the incision to take the screws out! I do not have a pic of the right hip scar currently. Enjoy!

Your incision looks wonderful! And the difference in your xrays is amazing. Crazy to think how such a change can make the world of difference.
Love reading your blog too.

Wow! Your scar does look great! Better than mine, and I've got 10 days on ya! Looks like you're healing really well.
