Happily, I am already seeing improvement with my itchy toe situation. That is such a relief. Itching can really drive a person to the edge of insanity ( Read more... )

I got really freaked out when Jack had his cast off after his surgery and I saw how his thumb looked. It's kind of shocking to have something you are used to look all mangled even if it's for the better. I hope it heals up well.

Yes, it would definitely be shocking. She sent an updated picture after her suture removal and it looks really good! She seems much calmer (more calm?) about it now that that initial shock of the bandage removal process has passed.

So glad your toes are feeling better, and also that your sisters surgery went well. Does that mean they went as far as the cancer reached and she's done with it or will she have more treatments?

Very sweet about your nephew's girlfriend.

Yes! They said they got it all and actually only had to take the top layer off, which is good. They were prepared to take multiple layers of tissue and biopsy between each layer until they could tell for sure they got it all, but after the first layer they were done. So, she shouldn't need any further treatment in this area.

Glad to hear you see improvement! Itching would drive me mad too. And I hope your sister heals up well!

I think she was looking for him to save her and that is a heavy thing for a 17-18 year old kid to deal with.

That's too heavy a thing for anyone at any age to deal with! I know I wouldn't want to.

Thank you! She does seem to be healing up quite well. Her sutures are out so now it's just waiting for the scab to heal up.

That's going to itch like mad too. I hope they give her some ointment or something. :/

Nothing special. They just told her to use Vaseline. I had a mole removed not that long ago and they recommended a thing called Scar Away, which helped with itch and scar, but she said her doctors didn't even mention anything like that, and she didn't ask.
