I wanted to give everyone an update on my face situation. I got a call on Wednesday saying that they got everything within the area that they took the skin from on Monday, this was great news. So, I went back this morning (Thurs) to have the actual spot taken out, and to have it repaired. Before I went this morning, the doctor had drawn out how he thought my scar would look. I was a little scared as it was a pretty big scar that he was talking about. Even this morning he was not optomist about the smaller of the scar chances. But as he got in there, he determined that he did not have to go all the way down my cheek, so long story short, I got the shorter of the scars. It is still 3.5 cms long from my eye to about the end of my nose, but it is much better than the alternative. I got around 24 stitches, and have to wear the same type of bandage that I had on the other day for at least 24 hours to help apply pressure. So, come Saturday I should be able to take off the bandage and have a much smaller one. I am hoping that the scar will fade over time to be less noticeable, but I am just thankful that they got it all and it is over. If you think about it, please say a quick prayer for quick recovery and not too much pain.
