Scariness I Had Not Predicted

so i finally went to the dr about the way my breast was looking.  turns out i had a major reaction to the adhesive spray used to close the incision and attach steri-strips.  i blistered up terribly and got a heck of an infection.  now i am needing to heal that all up along with everything else.  it has been more traumatic than i expected of course.

this scariness is surprising to me.  i thought it would be a pretty simple procedure with extra healing time because, well i always take more time to heal.  having something horrible looking and weeping so is gross to me and i am a little scared will leave a less than terrific looking scar.  the incision is gaping and had fluid weeping out.  i don't really want to detail it too much, so suffice it  said that the wounds are scaring me and causing me to second guess how i will look after all has healed.  the situation relies on my vanity, i realize, but i am realistic enough to know it effects how i see myself and therefor how i will carry myself.  i had just begun to feel like, at the size i currently am, i am still beautiful.  here again i must trust God to care for all these feelings.

scot tells me it does not affect the way he feels about me, and i know that is true.  it will just affect the way i feel beautiful to him and respond to his interest.  if i don't care for this it may become a 'reason' i feel he does not want to view my body once we are married, or keep me from wanting  him to see my body.  it is a future situation that causes worry now and therefore can be cared for now and healed before it is a true issue.

well that is it for scariness.
