Again, a mixed bag. I had a free flap from my left lat (a huge back muscle) and it left a lot of redundant tissue that has held up well over the years, but makes it difficult to get a good socket fit. The split thickness grafting kept breaking down and had to be cut out in various stages.

The first 3 surgeries were to help rid the risk of infection all the graphs took good except for the hand. She had another surgery to help with that but will still require more as well at orthopedic work

I have horrific scarring to my left leg all the way up to my buttocks. I was burnt all the way up to my armpit and thought my hair was going to set on fire as my clothes did.
