I have my appointment with the plastic surgeon in Little Rock tomorrow. I am as nervous as the first day of College. I did some research so I would know what questions to ask. I just hope he tells me he can put me back to the way I was before all this happened.
I am staying at home with my folks tonight so that we can leave early in the morning. I know I will not sleep at all. I am excited and scared at the same time. Mom fixed a great dinner, but I could hardly eat a bite. I did manage to eat some of her homemade
Peach Cobbler though.
Here is what I found out about burn reconstruction:
The reconstructive burn surgery restoration process is comprised of three elements:
- recovery
- reconstruction
- rehabilitation
Late reconstructive burn surgery occurs more than six months post-burn, or when the scars are believed to be mature. Late reconstruction may lead to fewer surgeries and more successful reconstructive efforts.
It has been a year since my injury so I am confident they will be able to fix me up.
