the healing process?

it's "wicked" disgusting. when I took a shower this morning I noticed a hideous transformation around my belly button incision. what used to be a sunny and happy shade of yellow has turned into a full-blown black and blue bruise. now I have a screaming physical reminder of my dysfunctional anatomy. good thing I have AMA because if I were younger I might be tempted by the cropped tee. you see, I was blessed with a flat stomach. I was ironically blessed with child bearing hips. it would be nice to notice a big growing belly instead of a modern day infertility scarlet letter.

(there are actually some red tones in my bruising.)
