Perfect implant.

28 August 

Yesterday morning we left for Wake Forest with much anticipation.  Again, Florence drove us in her car.  Before we arrived we had time to lunch, and we got to the Burn Clinic just in time.  In came three of them, the surgeon, Dr Craig, and two of his students.  He took off the bandages from the foot first, and we could see a 'splendid' graft all snug on her foot, where before there was a very angry burn.  Her foot was not swollen and, apparently, the graft was well 'rooted'.  He explained to us, as well as his students, step by step, how with an orange oil extract spray he was able to remove, without pain, each little piece of bandage.  She still has to cover it with the special bandage until we see him again Sept 17th.  Dr Craig said the two burns on her thighs were 100% cured and the place where the skin was taken was about 50%, for the skin still needs to grow there.  She can't get it wet still, so we will continue with bed baths.

We left happily, with the blessed boot in a bag, as she does not have to wear it any more.  And... now she can walk!  We're going to try to get some balance and not attempt any marathons.  The nurse is arriving shortly, and I shall have her order some neat burn net to cover her wounds.  Thanks for your concern and prayers.
