The "Donor" site.


I call this skin graft the "donor" site. It is where the surgeon removed layers of skin to be placed in the axis. (armpit) to close the open wound. It is a much larger skin graft than I ever anticipated and the pain of the graft site is about as painful as the open wound itself. There is much to be said about the healing of this portion of my experience as well.. for now I will just upload the picture and get into the gory details later.
This is on my left leg thigh from near the groin area to almost the knee. I will take measurements as my home health care nurse arrives again tomorrow.
