Hi

I have just got back from the hospital clinic. I saw the surgeon that performed the operations on excision and skin graft on my leg.

Good news...he says things are going well if somewhat more slowly on account of the site of the melanoma, on the shin bone. This makes surgery and grafting more complicated.

I have to return in 4 weeks, and until then go to my medical centre twice a week for dressing and after-care.

I am very relieved because I thought I could have an infection under the graft, but I was assured that everything is going great.

I was told that this kind of graft takes months rather than weeks to completely heal. His best guess at the moment is six months.

Ah well at home I am on " light duties" no washing up, hoovering etc, and definitely no gardening !!!

Hope all other patients are progressing well.

Regards
