D0 you ever do this?

I used to always look around me to see if anyone has a trach scar. I once said something to my pulmonologist that I never see anyone with the tell tale 'hole in the neck' and he said, "I see them all the time!" Duh. It is his patient practice. I think in the almost ten years since I have been out of the hospital, I have only seen a handful of trach scars. I used to obsess abut it, but then I realized I was an 'old, married woman with kids' and if that was the worst visual thing about that happened after my ARDS, I could live with that.
