Title: Getting a skin graft for my burn
Post by: karen547 on September 22, 2007, 04:58:27 AM

I went to the Burn Unit at my hospital, and they told me that I will need to have a skin graft for my burn on the back of my thigh- I am going  into he hospital on the 27th and will be there for about 5 days :banghead; I also felt awful yesterday- I had a fever and I also have pain where my perma-cath is and am taking penicillin for an infection- I'm glad that I will be healing but at the same time it's just another round of BS that I am dealing with-

Dang, did I miss something about a burn..sometimes it is easy to miss things. I hope you are ok. Why do they feel you need a skin graft for it. I thought they usually do that right away if needed. Anyway I hope all goes well.  :grouphug;
