Day 89
De-Snorkified Stylin' & Profilin'
Free at last! My head is free at last! Thank heavens my head is free at last! *laughs*
I had my post-op appointment with the plastic surgeon this morning. The mesh netting that was around my head is gone. The dressing that was sewn to my head is also gone. The stitches are scheduled to come out in two weeks.
For the most part she was very pleased with the results. There is a small fingerprint-sized spot where the graft did not take. Dr. Matthews seems to think that it might heal on its own. I suppose I’ll know more in two weeks. For now I’m just glad to have that awful, tight, itchy, unsightly mesh dressing off my head. Dr. Matthews also removed the dressing from the skin graft site on my leg. That too is healing nicely.
I’m happy with all of today’s results. I’d be fibbing if I told you that I am unconcerned with the small spot that did not take but for now I’m going to believe that it will heal on its own and that everything will be okay for me to start radiation treatments soon. I’m exhausted and ready to watch the Top Chef finale. Thanks for coming back each day to read and comment. I appreciate and love you all.
Love,

wonderful news!
Yay! *dances around room with Angel*
(((hugs))) Angel, thanks for always being there to listen, console, lift up and support me. I honestly don’t know what I’d do without you. (((more hugs)))
YYAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!! I can’t tell you how happy I am that you got the dressing off ( you looked cute as a self described “snork” though, even if I didn’t think you were). Fingers crossed for you that everything does what it’s meant to and heals well. *mwah*
Thanks so much SC! Your support mean the world to me. (((hugglies)))
Chickie,
Got to admit I was terrified to get onto your site today hoping against hope that you wouldn’t still have your cap on and I know how disappointed you would have been. Oh wonder of wonders there you were with that colorful scarf on, you sure made my day and I can just imagine how much better you must feel now.
Wonderful, congrats you are getting there for sure.
Hugs,
Suz
Thanks for rooting for me Suzy Q. (((huggies)))
