There are two kinds of scars I can speak of. One is the scars on the outside, the surgical scars. I was lucky enough that even at my young age, my surgeons considered that I would be conscious of too man scars and for each surgical procedure cut a hairline away from the last scar.
I only appear to have had one surgery because of this and am very thankful and grateful for the consideration put into this.
As for the other scars, the interior ones are a bit harder to deal with. the scars of being different through my childhood, the teasing, the differences I had, the very sickly look I carried for so many years. Those scars take a bit longer to heal, they need lots of love, confidence building and just plain tender loving care. Yes, there were lot’s of visits to phyciatrists. That, along with strong family bonds made me the person I am today. Now, in my 40’s I can say I am healed. Healing is a process that takes a lifetime to achive. I strongly suggest to stay strong and loving to help both scars inside and out.
