If this article is correct I would be number 12, in 30 years!!! I think the number is higher as the Dr. quoted said he was personally involved with 10 cases... how much higher is another question; the reporter seemed to have just added the recent case where the unfortunate man died. The Dr. quoted was not my surgeon.
I am about 95% better. My skin donor site got infected twice, in mid-November and again by end December. I went to Florida for a month, stayed with Paul M., and saw a doctor there who sorted me out. I still have an open area on my donor site, but it is fairly small (1" x 1/3" approx.) compared to the entire site which is most of my upper left thigh.
I returned to T&T yesterday as the Dr. there said the next he sees me is hopefully in a bar somewhere. I still have issues with my right leg; stiff ankle, no feeling in some areas, swelling etc. but I can walk. In another couple weeks my left thigh should be, by the grace of God, mostly healed. I no longer have to have it bandaged and I can take a shower and run water over etc.
I thank all my family, friends and health care workers who were there , and still are, for me.
