I am sad to report that I had surgery #13. The up side is that it was outpatient and it was the quickest surgery I have ever had! It was called a "scar revision." The skin graft and the muscle flap was not healing like it should have been. There was just too much tissue flapping over the skin graft edge preventing the appropriate healing. So, my great plastics doc revised the scar. I think it is a hoot how the docs all talk about having to revise my scar as if they are talking about editing a paragraph in a thesis. In any case just as I had started intensive physical therapy I am benched again. This makes me frustrated! But the stitches should be out before my birthday in February so only a few weeks of twiddling my thumbs. My energy level suck, so at least this will give me more time to recoup those lovely red blood cells I am lacking. If only chewing on rusty nails worked!
