It's so important to be grateful.
Back in January this year, I developed cellulitis in my belly button at the site of surgery. When I had my double mastectomy back in June 2023, in order for me to have reconstruction, they took belly fat, with that they needed to detach my belly button and give me a whole new one. I'm really not sure why. The point is, this is what they did. Now, almost a year and a half later, I developed an abscess, which became quite nasty, and I needed antibiotics, and it has taken since January for it to heal. Every time I think it has closed, it opens up again.
I have just completed my 3rd round of antibiotics this year. My immune system has been incredibly low. The image of little skin tags is what has developed over a course of 6 months to a year because of my low immune system.
I want to say I'm grateful for how amazing our bodies are, how if you listen to it, it can tell you things that you need to know so that you can be healthy. I am also grateful for modern medicine as well as traditional medicine. Without it, I wouldn't be here.
The skin tags have almost disappeared after taking zinc, vit b, and selenium since January. And because I am not 100%, i will continue to take the supplements.
As I get back into my exercise routine, I will see if my belly button decides to reopen, but ๐ not.
But in the meantime, I do my best to stat fit, stronger, healthy and cancer free.
