Wishing you all the very best from another forearm free flapper.
Mine also took very well even though they have been nibbling away at the edges for a few years now to get it right.
The wrist healed very quickly as well as the skin graft from my thigh to cover it.
Still looks like a shark bite though!!
Using a bed pan was something I could not master. Even with my OC unrelated operation last month they kept the bag connected until I could make it to the bathroom...I think about you daily and look forward to hearing from you soon.
Love
Gabriele
