Wound care center and Dr. Shulman today. Both are encouraging - yea!
The left side is nearly closed with a few rough spots and the right is much smaller. The skin seems to be sticking this time - finally. She changed the dressing regime to just antibiotic ointment with daily changes. A little more work for me, but I'm up for whatever works.
Dr. Shulman hopes to re-start the reconstruction process with half-fills in a couple of months. She wants to let the scar mature and fade before stretching everything out again. She also admitted that nerve regrowth with weird stabbing shocking random pains will continue for at least the next two years. I know this from my own clinical training, and it was actually good to hear the truth from a doctor. She's upbeat, but realistic.
