Scars in public: the adventure begins

[justalurkr]

It's way too hot for long pants in Georgia right now, so I shall shortly sally forth in bermudas that do not cover my surgical scar, a totally unsubtle streak of pink down the inside of my right leg at the knee.

Will people pity me? Recoil in horror?

My favorite explanation remains "while unicycling across the Grand Canyon, my violin bow slipped and wackiness ensued," which sounds much better than "I stepped onto the grass and gravity said 'you're mine now, bitch.'"

I vote for they won't even notice. I mean, I've been walking around in public without makeup and with sweaty troll hair for the past week and no one's run away screaming. ;)

And you would be right about failure to notice, mainly because it disappears under the brace I only wear outside the house.

Is the heat melting your makeup and trolling your hair? Or is your GAF as broken as mine at this point? 😎

Haha, it's the GAF, though it was very breezy on the riverwalk today. There is no amount of shellac that will keep my hair from sticking straight out.

I hear that. Unless properly thinned, my hair does an outstanding impression of a rusty haystack.

Rock on, unruly hair!

I doubt you'll get much pointig and screaming. ON the other hand, you will be forced to listen to total strangers describe their (much worse surgeries).

Remember the sunscreen :)

Snaps fingers... sunscreen!

I knew I'd forgotten something! 😅
