Surgery yesterday was long and successful!!! I was groggy and battled nausea for several hours even though I was given anti- nausea medication during and after the procedure. My leg is completely wrapped and in a knee immobilizer with 2 drain ports and the nurses have been given strict orders to not undo or touch anything the surgeon has done!  I can see part of where the skin graft was taken but part is under the bandaging and the pain reminds me of getting burned.  

My appetite returned late last night and my kind night nurse went to the kitchen and got me a sandwich, chips, salad, promptly and juice. I ate everything and then promptly fell back asleep. 

Mahalo nui loa for all of your prayers and healing energy.  It is helping and I'm feeling better every day.
