Pete hopefully you are feeling a little better today especially without the skin bothering you when you breath. Although the image of the flashlight, mirror and scissors did give me a little chill. It may be too early to tell, but do you feel any better since the part of the flap that was not successful was removed? I hope that you start to feel stronger quickly.
Thinking of you and the rats. Is the little rat still licking your hand?
