Strange things you learn about your body in that kind of situation; for example that an opening of about 10cm in your belly doesn't really hurt once the infection has been fought off. I had to rinse it with luke-warm water every day and that didn't even cause major discomfort. Dosage of anti-biotics was well over 1000 mg a day untill it closed. I think the scar looks quite decent, maybe even better than if the stitches had stayed in.
