The good news about it being there is that no one but my husband and my massage therapist will ever see it. I don't think I have any swimsuits that expose that part of my back ... but I'm not sure about that.
Since I hit 50 last summer I've decided I don't care a bit about what people think of how I look, I put on a swimsuit and hit the pool, if they don't want to look at my pasty, plump, scarred up, middle aged body; that's just too bad. It's been very freeing.
