How does my neck look? 8/15/10

My new Levoxyl prescription arrived yesterday afternoon, so this morning I switched over from the old dosage (175 mcg) to the new dosage (150 mcg). Not sure when I will be able to tell for sure if my symptoms/complaints have improved or not, but I don't think it would be for a few days, at least. My energy level has been pretty good today. Hopefully I will be able to fall asleep easily tonight.

Went to pilates class this morning, then jogged 3/4 mi on the treadmill. My right knee felt a little tender, but not enough that I had to stop. I really need to work in another run during the week, preferably before I go back to work so I already have my weekly workout schedule set up. I'm thinking about trying to get to a hip hop dance class once a week, but they all seem to be too early in the evening for me to get to. A yoga class would be good too, just not a power yoga class, so I don't think I'll be going to Selena's Monday or Tuesday night classes for a while yet.

The tingly feeling in my neck comes and goes. I'm starting to feel a lot more self-conscious about it now that I only have a little over two weeks before I go back to the office. I may have to invest in some short sleeve turtle necks so I don't have to worry about explaining my new beauty mark on my neck. A lady in my pilates class was telling me to start massaging it, to help loosen the area so I don't get a lot of scar tissue, or something like that. I should try this and see if it feels or looks better (to me, at least).

I know I should be proud of my scar, but right now I'm not feeling too good about people seeing it at work, not yet. So tell me, how does my neck look? Should I keep it covered or show it off at work? (then tell people it's none of their business if they ask about it?!?)

  1. It doesn't look that bad. in fact, it is starting to look like its part of your neck lines. if it is still bothering you, wear crew necks, or a scarf or necklace. Covering it with anything will still irritate it, so I say show it off with pride. Say you got in an ugly plastic butter knife fight with a Mexican gang banger at the local SomeBerto's. not true, but funny :)
