I feel the same, I like to think it's best to keep the area clean and dry.
How are you today?

I am sorry to hear of your sad time Macy..
No pain …
PMS time I may get some discomfort, Before LIS it was that awful tightness, it would start a week or so before I was due on and tapered off 3/4 days into my period, it was a constant tight squeezing feeling , I hated that so much ..
I understand you not wanting to disturb the area with applicators and such ..
Thanks Macy and Cheryl
Having each other to talk things over with makes a world of difference, we have truly wonderful boardies here

Hey guys, thanks for all the responses. I am a little better today. It's so weird how one minute I feel no pain, then maybe an itch, then some burning, then nothing again. Each day seems to bring on different feelings. However I will say the first 8-10 weeks after LIS I never had a moment without at least some pain whereas now I do. I guess that does mean its healing, just really reeeeeaaaaallllllllly slow.....

Yes, it slow. You almost don't notice that it is getting better until one day you realize you havent thought about your butt in the last 20 minutes or so!

I mean its like such a small amount of improvement you don't realize....then I have a bad day and think oh no its all bad again and then its better.
Is that you tootie? I love your dress!

Yes, exactly-sometimes you don't notice that it got better until it gets worse. Yep, that is me-the dress is a vintage slip that was redone into a dress!

You are healed, right Tootie?

Tootie,
Did our mutual designer do that for you??? How are you feeling???

Nice chair, too, Tootie Leish! :D

How are you doing Macy? What about your sweet little son?
I loved the picture of you and him on the beach...
