Surgical glue...will it ever come off?

"Surgical glues (also called surgical sealants or adhesives) are used after a surgery or traumatic injury to bind together external or internal tissue. Surgical glues can be used in conjunction with or as an alternative to sutures and staples; they use a chemical bond to hold tissue together for healing or serve as a barrier to stop the flow of bodily fluids. The five main types of surgical glues are fibrin sealants, cyanoacrylates, collagen-based compounds, glutaraldehyde glues and hydrogels..."

Seriously, after reading that I am starting to wonder if it will ever come off. Not only am I still flaking off, but it's itchy as all hell. Isn't it bad enough I have to deal with these big fucking bricks (ie expander's from hell) in my chest that are suffocating me, but I want to itch my scars like a wild woman. Too bad I can't feel my chest to scratch it because I have no feeling in my chest!! I would love to lay on my side but the pain is still there and it's uncomfortable beyond words. I can't wait to get my first fill this week that should add to my bitch. Do not even get me going on coughing and sneezing, OUCH! BUT...... I am alive! The pain and itch tells me that. So, as much as I want to just wallow in self pity, I won't because of the women who have lost their battle. Really for all those fighting any cancer because all CANCER SUCKS!! I just will not let it suck the life out of me. That would be disrespectful to Jennifer, Aileen and any other person who has lost their battle.

So I will take the itch and be glad its not head lice. I will take the pain and be happy I feel. The surgical glue well I will deal for now but I won't like it. Rome wasn't built in a day, I need something to go on about.

Starting to plan for the Photo show in October, so make sure you check back this week for the date and info!
