Pinch grafts from my back and upper right leg.

Worked to close amputations. Donor site much harder to recover from than the graft site.

I had a terrible day. My mind felt like it would snap at any moment. I went outside to escape my kids and the chaos of my house for a deep breath. I started pulling weeds from my flowerbed. Something about yanking those stubborn weeds out of the ground made me feel better. Stress relieving i guess.

I had grafts applied to two areas on the inside of my foot as well as to the stump of my big toe and the top of my 2nd toe. They took and healed well and I have not had any issues with them
Working / Worked
well it got rid of the burn swelling up and going black
Working / Worked
they debrided most of the front of my leg from about 4 inches below the knee to just behind my big toe, about 5 inches wide. Took the tendons on top of the foot so I can't lift my big toe but I can push just fine. Good strength. Skin is a bit tender still (16 years later). Graft was the least of my worries. Once it took though, the healing improved.

Helped adjust my skins growth since from 3-16 years old.
Working / Worked
The skin has a few ridges that stick up but they are basically unnoticable if I don't point them out.

My Daddy always had the most wonderful garden. This year I planted my first I made sure I planted his signature tomatoe plants I even took one his tomatoe cages from his house. I got a Jay bird that says Daddys Garden and put it in there. I put a table next to it and a chair. I sit out there for hours talking to my Daddy. It puts reality back into play for me.
Working / Worked
