Whoo hoo..........I won the graft site prediction lottery! I too was freaked about getting a trach again, but truth is you get through what you have to. At least the 2nd time you know what to expect. Remember you can get through anything.

I was surprised at how they do a graft. It was almost as if they took off a layer of sod in a very precice rectangle, then they just covered it with a guaze type thing and let it heal in the open air. As the wound heals and the scab is removed, the gauze comes with it. Hope my description doesn't gross anyone out but it really wasn't gross to me.

Let us know surgery date. In the meantime - Hugs.
