I'm back at home after my freeflap surgery. Spent 4 days in ICU, with no trachy, being ventilated via my nose. Didn't enjoy the ventilator or having it removed! But it did the job and no trachy was required. Was moved to the Plastic Surgery ward on Thursday last week and gradually started taking on human form from then on. My flap is healthy and my arm looks grotesque but they say it is healing well. I won't see my thigh until Wednesday.

It is so good to be back at home in my own bed! I hope that this was my last hospital visit for a while. Everytime that I think I have this thing beat some new twist in the tale appears.

Found out that I have an OCF member living literally around the corner (Hi Jenna!) how small a world is this?
