It used to be big and ugly but ...

It's a small dot on the inside of his wrist, a reminder of one of his IV's, or possibly a remnant from an arterial line. It made me look for others that aren't as obvious as his sternal and thoracotomy incisions. He has three d ...

I have my share of scars, and I am sure that you do too. Life is hard. We make big plans and dream big dreams. Sometimes things go according to plan, but other times we get hurt and jaded.

Kris K.
This post was inspired by a student who is having adverse effects from scar tissue that has built up over 11 years since by-pass surgery.
