@Pax - do you have any tips for protecting the healing wound from the bra band? They took out as many of the internal sutures as they could get, but there are still a couple of them sticking through the skin and it's REALLY irritating. They couldn't give me an estimate on when they might dissolve. Covering the whole scar just isn't an option any longer ... it's been a week and a half and I still have red marks from the (latex-free) adhesive. /hijack
