Don't look if you're squeemish!

Here is a picture of my beautiful new scar.  I know it looks pretty gross but it's my new badge of honor.
The blue strings aren't there anymore (Dave pulled it out).  It was actually one long string that when pulled, came out quite easily.  The black mark on top isn't there anymore either.  That was left over sticky glue from the bandage.  The brown mark to the left of the black mark is apparently a birthmark.  Who knew?  
My "badge" is about 3-4 inches long and about 1/2 inch wide.  Dave says it is healing very nicely, whatever that means.  I guess it's true but I can't see it.  Thank goodness.  It's a good thing I don't wear bikinis!  
The end...no more pictures or talk about my stupid back!  I promise.
