Thank you for asking! It's day 28 in the nursing:rehab center, which is best at the moment for me due not having a caretaker at home. They even send an aide with me to my doctor appointments, which is nice, and haven't had that kind of help in years. I do physical, occupational and swallow therapy everyday, and nurses change the wound bandage at the different sites, daily, they watch me like a hawk lol.

Anyway, I lost 30% of the graft in my leg, it happens. It will just take extra care, and debridment for it to heal, plus I'm diabetic. Otherwise they say I'm doing well. The stoma from the trache is almost closed, but a concern was minimal food coming out when eating, and modified barium swallow showed no food, but liquid, aspiration, which I'm not sure about. The other thing it can be is fistula, which can happen, especially after all the radiation and surgeries I had, so are conveying the info to the dr being I saw the physician assistant. Next visit is with the plastic surgeon.

One thing for sure, recovery is longer than what was conveyed or I thought, but each person is different, and it's not like it was my first surgery and in better shape I once was. Each treatment, surgery, slowly wore me down, but still here fighting!
