Tracy,
I am so impressed with you! You show a lot of courage and maturity in handling the hand you have been dealt, and you are an eloquent writer besides. I am so glad you are getting excellent care now as well. In addition to your doctor watching over your situation with the graft possibly hiding future problems, you will find that you will need to continue to advocate for yourself.
That never seems to end. But I think you will do a good job of that too.
Best,
Anne
