I wish I had more pictures of me early on, but I was in ICU for a week because I had pneumonia after my surgery and you can't take pictures in ICU. I do know that my neck was all taped up at first covering my incision so you couldn't really see it and I had three "drains" and a trach. My neck had a bagillion staples in it under the tape. I do have pictures of the staples (that aren't on the blog if you want to see them) and a picture of me with the trach in. I looked rough. As far as my arm, apparently I had something different than everyone else. I had integra put down on my wrist and a wound vac put over that, and I had the vac for about a month from my surgery and then I had a second surgery for my skin graft to be put down and I had the wound vac for another week. It is supposed to speed up the healing. I have pictures of my wrist pre and post skin graft on my blog as well if you want to know what that may look like. They are probably my favorite pictures from the whole thing, a little gross, but awesome nonetheless.
