Ouch, Ouch, and OUCH!

Hello, Everybody! Sharon is trying to write this, but she is going to let Ellen finish because ----OUCH!!! This is what the wound looks like as of today. Ellen counted twenty-two stitches. The doctor said, "Do not use your hand for two weeks"! Sharon is slowly understanding why. But really, the incision and the sutures look good. The piece of skin that was used for the graft also looks healthy. (Ellen LOVES being the nurse!) It is quite difficult to do things one-handed. Sharon needs to continue keeping her right arm elevated so that her fingers do not swell too much. She is trying to be a good patient, honest!! So we will give you another update tomorrow. The stitches don't come out until Dec. 10th. Her dressing changes will continue daily.


Until next time. . . . .
