Wow, when I think about how much time and effort I put into looking good (in more ways than one!) when I was younger, I have to laugh in exhaustion!
I'm just thinking about how when I had my appendix removed when I was in my 20s and it was so important that the scar not interrupt the smooth loveliness of my taut belly, and I asked the surgeon to make sure it was well within my tan line.

Oh, gawd. (He did, by the way; I have the cutest, sexiest little appendectomy scar ever.)
And this time around, when I knew I was going to have my whole tum reupholstered, I didn't even bother to ask about scars -- that's just so outside the realm of my concern now.
Funny! Thanks for asking.
