I wonder if I can post pictures???
Well, I took the tape off my incision site. It stung a little at first. I called the nurse and she said often times people have a reaction to the chemical in the adhesive. I finally called b/c the rash is now moving down to my chest and getting VERY ITCHY! I swear I had NO allergies before thyroid. Now the stuff I need I have allergies to!
Anyway, I am so astonished at how the incision looks. By all means it's beautiful!! I cannot believe how good it looks. It looks like a crease in my neck and the only thing that is ugly is the nasty rash from the tape and adhesive marks.
Just thought I'd let you guys know. My throat is a little sore today, not sure why. I will try to post a picture of my neck right after surgery with tape...etc. THen later I can get a picture of how it looks without tape!

Hi April,
That's great that it looks so good.
I'm allergic to adhesive in the surgical tapes. Have you tried taking some Benadryl? It always works for me!

Yes, took Benadryl it does help. They turned into little blisters. Kinda ugly. Then I have to big nodes swollen on the side of my neck. I am thinking it's just a reaction to the tape or the surgery itself.
