How does my neck look? 6/12/10

I have not been good about updating my blog these past few days. Every time I thought about it, it was 2am in the morning when I was trying, without success, to fall asleep.
Note to self: Remember to either not take any naps between 4pm and 10pm, or keep them to 30 mins so it doesn't completely throw off my sleep cycle!

I did manage to visit my co-workers and go out for sushi with a friend, so that was nice. Today I got a hair cut. The last one I had was a week before my first surgery, which in hind sight I am very glad I did because it would've been much more difficult, I think, to deal with longer hair after both of my surgeries (stiff/sore neck and not being able to wet the area around the incision for a couple of days). My hair has been so much easier to take care of, so I think I'll keep it short for the rest of the summer.

Yesterday I managed to peel off a small section of tape to the right of the cauterized scab, so I was happy. Then I jumped in the shower, and when I got out, I noticed that the cauterized scab was gone. Wow! The area beneath the scab was really pink yesterday. I can still see some tape on or around the scar, so I will continue to wait for it to peel up so I can pull it all off. Now if I could just figure out what that sharp thing is that is poking out from the right side of my scar.....you can't really see it in any of the photos, but I can feel it when I touch that area.

So, how does my neck look?
