My doctor's appt. went great! The surgeon trimmed the loose part in the front off and said the rest of the graft looks great. He also took out a couple of the stitches that he said looked like they would "bother" me. All the while he kept saying "I'm not hurting you am I?". He is such a sweet man. I just haven't had the pleasure of being around many doctors with his bedside manner.
He also looked at my arm, leg and neck/chin stitches, and trache. He said everything is healing great. Sure was good for my morale. :-) I still have a ways to go, but things are looking up!
