The case of the magically reaapearring bellybutton

For all you skeptics.

After my surgery I discovered that my bellybutton had been demolished, and I was devastated. You may say and I believe my mother and husband would agree with you that this was an overreaction given the circumstances. But consider for a moment, my spot.


My belly has been cut open a lot. There is nothing remotely attractive about the gigantic scar that runs down my belly. And now I have intestine sticking out too. My belly button was to me the last little thing that could remotely be considered cute and it was gone.


A couple of months ago it reappeared. Don't know how, don't even know exactly when but it was within a day or two of consoling another girl who was lamenting the loss of her bellybutton.

Don't believe me??? I'VE GOT PICTURES


1st picture was taken just weeks after my surgery, probably sometime in June. The scar is not fully healed you can see that there really is no bellybutton, just this funky line where the button used to be.


Now please observe picture two. TA-DA!!! Bellybutton is back (this picture was taken this month)


Well you may not consider it even remotely cute :) but but it a consolation to me to have it back. I've got enough battle scars.
