    Xmas Day, 2017

    Skin Graft looking good so far! Vac to be put back on and checked again on Wednesday 27th. Can start to weight bare and move about now on crutches. Pain is minimal, just one sharp pinch point where a blood blister was on the bottom of my foot but will eventually go away.

    December 28th, 2017 - Discharged

    I'm finally going home

    January 5th, 2018 - ActiVAC removed and gone for good 😊

    Everything is on track right now. I am so relieved and over the moon to have this machine off. It has done it's job. Skin Graft has attached very well. 40mls of fluid removed from the stitches. No more time restrictions. Phase 2 of healing begins!
