I'm up and walking around now, and my skin graft is continuing to heal. I do have to remember to take it easy which is really hard for me because I'm kind of an all or nothing type of person. I'm suppose to increase my activity slowly until I get back to normal, but I keep having to remind myself to slow down because I forget that I still have to tend to my leg. It looks really good most of the time, but if I overdo it by walking or standing on it for too long it does swell a little. What is different now is that the swelling does go down when I elevate my leg unlike before I had the surgery so I take that as a really good sign. I know this is going to take time and I am hopefully that the result in the end will make it all worth it.
I will be posting pictures shortly. I just wanted to let the graft heal some more so it would look a little more pleasant for you guys, but I know I would have liked to see how my scars and ankle would look before all of this, and that is why I am more than willing to share them with you!
