My scar is progressing nicely

[galaxygoddess]

Hey guys. Sorry I haven't been on. I've been working on several projects. One in particular I'm trying to make a full length novel. I haven't been here because it's been distracting.

Also, there's been a lot happening in my life. If you care to know, you can check my journal for deviantart.

I hope eventually I'll be able to post "I'm published!" but until then... meh. I'll continue to write even if no one likes my stuff.

I haven't posted anything to lit, cause I want to finish other projects. BTW my little fairy is still in to a publisher, and i"m on week 7 of my "8-12 weeks" of waiting *whine*

anyhow, here's a new picture of my scar:

It is very good seeing you back, although seeing what has happened to your back makes me sad , but then again you are getting better so I have happy for you

 

[Salvor-Hardon]

good to see you back GG. And your scar really is progressing nicely. Just think of the strength you will possess when you are back to 100%

 

[Shakti_Dreamer]

I think your scar is beautiful. I appreciate it because it reflects the pain you've been through. But, it also reflects your strength in surviving that pain.

Healing nicely, I hope

I'm not glad to see the scar, but I'm glad that you are healing.

That's amazing!

Not a zipper pull-- get a snake, wrapped all the way up. Your kundalini energy made manifest

Stella's mostly right. You've overcome too much to settle for some wimpy zipper pull. Yeah, get a snake . . . and have "Don't tread on me" interwoven around it. Kundalini or Trouble on Feet. Be both!

Galaxy,

You are correct, it is healing up quite nicely.

Now from my personal viewpoint don't bother to adorn your scar. Wear it with pride, it shows so much about you. It shows that you are a survivor.

As I quite often tell my patients scars show that you survived. You have to be alive to show a scar.

GG - so glad to hear from you. You are adorable, I smiled - you have this scar from a miserable accident, yet getting your ears pierced hurt!

I am undeniably the most terrified of needles. In the emergency room, they were going to do a toxicology on me because he had been drinking. I was still strapped to the stretcher, my head taped down, my arms strapped down and I fought them. Try imagining that in your head lol.


while in the hospital, they had to change my IV 16 times, because my veins kept blowing. I have hyper sensitive skin and I'm hyper sensitive to pain especially. Even the tiniest baby needle, hurts like a thousand shards of pain.

Every time I've ever been stuck, I screech. Even when I was on depo. I stood still for the shot, but again, screech. One woman asked me why that hurt me, it never hurt anyone else. Me? she might as well have stabbed me in the ass with a serraded knife.

All my life it's been like this. They use the special baby butterfly needles on me, and they still hurt like living hell and I ALWAYS get asked "why do that hurt you?" or been TOLD "oh come on, it can't hurt that bad". But it does.


You get the picture yet? lol

The only reason I was so good in the hospital was because I was beyond doped up with morphine. I take so little medication in my whole life time, that a 5 (whatever that meant) of morphine (which I was allowed every 15 minutes) would knock me out completely for no less than 3 or 4 hours.



So I've been mortally terrified of every needle I've ever come across. With OTHER people, if they need shots, or blood, or whatever, I have to walk out of the room, I cannot SEE a needle without freaking out.


But I met a guy, a sweet, awesome teddy bear of a guy, who gave me earrings for my birthday (feb 1) because he thought I never wore earrings because I didn't have any. I finally had to admit to him, that I never had my ears peirced. Well, he felt kind of embarassed, and I felt bad. Finally, a little over a week ago, I was sitting watching a Jem marathon (long story there) and I was like.. man I like her earrings... and then I got to thinking about Jason's earrings sitting in my drawer. And I took them out and was looking at them regretting I couldn't wear them (they're beautiful, I'mma post a picture of them shortly) and then some how I got my hands on a safety pin.... next thing I know, I'm digging at my ears. Oh good LORD it hurt, but by that point I was bound de-damned-termined to get it done.

I finally did it after several hours of trying.

When he showed up at my house friday and i was wearing the earrings, he about hit the floor!!! Well, he took me and bought me some nice like posts so the dangly earrings didn't tear my ears out while they healed



well, I want to get just a small little zipper pull at the very top of my scar, not a full lenght zipper, just the little tab pull thing at the top. I think it would be hilarious.


how I got THAT idea, was I was thinking about how when my sister was about 4 or 5, she asked my granddaddy where babies come from, and grandaddy told her "when your expecting, a zipper grows on your back, and when a baby is ready to be born, they open the zipper up, and it goes away until you're ready to have another one."


and well, that always made me laugh (cause she BELIEVED it til she was about 15 or so *eyeroll*)


but I am DEATHLY afraid of needles. BUt then again, I survived what I did, I was in the hospital as long as I was, they stabbed me over and over and OVER again, so why not? But a big tattoo?? haaaaa noooo braving a tiny one would be hard enough....

Hi, GG! I'm glad your scar is healing so well--it could be much worse, but it's a neat, seemly kind of scar and will get less obtrusive as time goes by.

As someone who's had a tattoo put on over a scar--I had a blue rose tattooed ever a large one left by a recluse spider bite--I should warn you that having any tattooing put on over it could cause you a little trouble. I presume you're going to wait until it's good and healed before you do this. I got bit by this spider in '99 and had the rose put on five years later, because I had this ugly pitted, bas-relief area on my leg. Every now and then the skin under the rose would itch and get a little inflamed. My doctor told me that this was not uncommon, because it was scar tissue, and advised me to rub a little cortisone cream on it. I did, and it worked. It hasn't bothered me for a long time now. I have two other tattoos, which are not over scar tissue, and I've never had a speck of trouble with either of them.

Your phobia about needles could be a cause for concern. However, a tattoo needle isn't the same as a needle you'd get injected with. It's very short, and you can't really see the needly part that well and it doesn't look that needly. They're all disposable, of course, and in a reputable place they'll break them out of the plastic wrapper before your eyes. The needle doesn't go into the flesh the way it would with an injection. It's more like being scratched, except that the scratching goes on for a while.

I think you should do something more creative than a zipper pull, if you can stand it--not that a zipper pull isn't creative, it is--but over the years the scar might get light enough so that people will see just the zipper pull and not get the joke.

And post whatever you get.

 

[Noor]

the needle thing may not be a phobia, it maybe a nervous system reaction. I have something similar though not to needles. Blood pressure cuffs, IV needles that are too big... mine is a like pressure on my veins reaction.


Glad you are healing GG and you met a nice guy.

Glad you are healing GG and you met a nice guy.

Second that. I've been told that we're in short supply so hold on tight.
