Hi from a fellow Aussie. Welcome to this great forum where you will get lot's of help and advise. Sadly only discovered it myself long after the initial diagnosis and operation. It would have helped me a lot at the time if I had known of it.
I have not had the same treatments as you so will leave it for others to answer your questions. Where did they take the flap from? Mine was from the inside right hand wrist. Can help with that one.
Cheers
Gabriele
