On the left you see me and my wound VAC ready for a Sunday outing. Looks like a purse, albeit fairly unstylish, lol.
But sans blouse & vest you can see some of what goes on with the tubing (yes, I really DID pose on my deck in just a sports bra -- crazy or brave, take your pick!) The tube comes out of the top of my bra from my right breast and then I hook it thru my belt loops to help control it since I carry the VAC on my opposite shoulder.
(You can also get a glimpse of the results from my tummy tuck.)
I can tell you that this VAC is a miracle healing apparatus, the wound looks much better than it did -- surprisingly so. I never would have thought it could heal to this extent.
I felt compelled to share this because when I describe the machine to most people it sounds scary or barbaric...a sterile sponge taped over a wound with a tube attached to a machine that constantly sucks on it is not exactly appealing to say the least. But in reality it's not so bad, as you can clearly see.
Michael and I had a lovely lunch and did some shopping...oh, and I was fully dressed during all of it, I swear ;)

Just brave/not crazy. Glad you enjoyed your outing. Also glad you've got on some rockin' denim.
That is pretty cool.
Definitely brave, ok, and maybe a little crazy :-)) You look great too. Does the VAC make a lot of noise? sounds like a marvellous machine.
It certainly takes the scariness away. I am so gla dyou enjoyed your walk.
Wow Kayleigh, you look great! I'm so glad you had a good sunday. And crazy or brave? I'd like to think you're a little bit of both, just as long as you don't turn into one of those people who starts comparing scars at the drop of a hat...
Girl, I hear you on the wound vac. Just a miracle maker of a little machine. You look fierce!
