Nice work. I'm still at the stage where it's an unnerving souvenir of the process. Maybe I won't notice it some day? I doubt that. Mine is also still taped, we think about 18 cm/ 7 1/4 inches.
The scar is an unending reminder, but it has gotten easier over the last year for me. The farther I get from the surgery, the less I think about it. It is all a long slow process.
I hope your healing is going well. I just took the surgical tape off my incision today. With the tape off the actual incision is only 6 1/2 inches.
