April 2nd - Front

It has been a few months since I posted photos. The leg has healed well. I still wear a compression garment to minimize swelling and my leg often aches after a long day. Overall it is doing great. I see Dr. Sood at Wishard next month and am guessing he will release me.

The various angles show that from certain angles it looks great and from other angles, not so great. This front view looks good.

Good afternoon Matt, I was looking for information and came across your site and the "story" of your burn. I am a Nurse working in North Queensland Australia. Your journey was most interesting and very concise, well done for journaling so well.It brings home so well how traumatic wounds can be for patients, and length of the healing time.
I am glad you are now well
regards

Debbie - Yes...actually my burn Dr is also a very good plastic surgeon. He said more surgeries could be done to try to lessen the scarring, but I declined. All I care about is having it healed and saving my foot, which I am happy to report that today, four years later, all is still well. I can live with scars.

Did they ever consult with a plastic surgeon?
