5 weeks - 5 1/2" sternotomy and tubes. Scabs off.

Emily Rowley Looks like it's healing great Kim 😊 I think it might just be the angle you look at it or your breast tissue-mines on part of my breast tissue which makes it lean. I notice you have two separate holes on each side where the tubes had been-I have one large tube hole (now healed/lump) in the middle below my scar. It's normal & I'm a few years post-op and mines hardly noticeable especially when the two gals are together, yours will be too.

Sophia Ridley Looks fabulous! It's very thin and give it a few months and you'll hardly see that.

Sophia Ridley Looks fabulous! It's very thin and give it a few months and you'll hardly see that.
Mine seems to be very pronounced at the top, veers to one side and I've got what looks like Chinese writing at the bottom of mine from the drains and pacing wires.

Emily Rowley I agree Sophia, it's very thin (so it will heal nicely) & looks great!

Kelly Weisgarber Looks really good Kimberly. My chest tubes were under my breast, one area still not healed (at 1 month today) Keep on healing! ❤️

Tina Maroon That looks fantastic to me.

Christine Pittelli That looks good! I do not understand the curve myself - but it looks so good - you are very lucky! Kim so glad to see you have this behind you.

Kimberly, that looks so good!! I hope mine heals that nicely. Still have that derma bond on and it looks thick and bloody still.

Meredith Bray Looks great! Mine's crooked too, unless I drape my right arm across the top of my head, then it's nice and straight. My scar has been flat and barely noticeable since about 14 months post op. Still itches sometimes though.

Rob Wigley Yours right now looks better than mine at 2 years......oh well!

Jeff V. Once healed at about 2 months, I began alternating applications of vitamin E oil and Mederma. My 9" scar is barely viewable with a thin white line and some slight pink discoloration around the incision line. I've not followed a consistent routine and occasionally miss days. The results have been quite good.

5 1/2" sternotomy incision, 19 days post op

Looks great!! Healing well!

Doran Herritt I have the same dot at the top of my incision. I had a sutcher sticking out until I clipped it. It's finally closed and healing. Take care. Drn

Billy G Looking good! Isn't it crazy how quickly these incisions close? I'll have to post my 3-day post-op pic and take another one soon.

Clare Auten Yours looks great. Mine is still red and purple 2 years later so I am jealous.

Jean Knappik Kimberly, you are healing beautifully...great job!

Liz Burroughs I'm glad that you're healing so well! Best wishes for a complete recovery! Liz

Kelly Weisgarber Looks really good Kimberly. I still am having an issue with where the chest tubes were, they are not healed yet, they are in a tricky spot under my breast. I hope your migraines improve. I have had a couple post-op and the auras were intense. Still having intense ringing in my ears (to my heart beat, pulsatile tinnitus) that I hoped would improve, I will eventually see a neurologist too for that issue. Take care and I hope you feel better every day.

Syed Hassan Great healing

Clare Auten You look great. It is amazing how our bodies respond to open heart surgery. Don't overdo it.

Kimberly Biddick Thanks! "Slow and steady" is what I keep telling myself. Definitely a long way to go, but I have come so far in the last two weeks!

Elaine Cutri Wow, you look great. Happy Thanksgiving!

Elaine Cutri No lifting the turkey. Go easy tomorrow, especially in the kitchen!

Suzanne Moore Thank you for taking the time to update! I am 1.5 weeks behind you and following your progress. Hope you continue to feel better!
When you are up to it, do you any advice on 'must-have' things from home for a woman at the hospital during recovery?

Paul Rose Nice zipper line, welcome to the club and wear it with pride 😎

anita egden I am starting to think of it as a war wound of life....getting used to showing mine to family and soon friends...

Daniel Spurgeon You can't look so good after open heart surgery, so I'd notify your doctor that he forgot to operate on you.

Kelly Weisgarber So happy to see you! Keep moving forward. You look great!

Steve Waddick So glad to hear they were able to repair your aortic valve. It really makes me second guess going forward with replacement until I get an opinion on repairing mine.

I hope you continue to have a speedy recovery.

Angela Hicks Wow

Elaine Cutri Wow, you look great. I know it may feel like a Mack truck came through, but it's so nice to see you smiling!

Sophia Ridley Kimberley, you look fabulous! Looks like a very positive beginning to your recovery. Thank you for sharing your photo.

You look great!!! Want to hear about your experience when you are up to it!

Kimberly Biddick Laura maybe late in the month we can meet up for lunch and I'll give you the low down?

Michael Meyer Awesome to hear of repair rather than replacement. Glad your experience has been a good one.

Yes, I'll email you! Keep smiling!!

My entire aorta and aneurysm

Kimberly Biddick Seeing this sure was a cold, hard dose of reality!

Tammy Pilcher Amazing pictures, Kimberly! Maybe you can get a picture after your surgery that will show it repaired and compare the before and after. I'd love to see the comparison!

Lewis Garlisi Seeing is believing. We are so fortunate to live in a time when these things can be taken care of. Best wishes for your upcoming surgery.

Kimberly Biddick I would love to see the comparison, too, Tammy!! Thanks Lewis! I am very grateful for that as well.
