Graft Healing and Pill Counting

Kyle is healing very well!  He only has 13 more days until his surgery to have the spatial frame removed.  He is managing his pain well on most days and is getting around with a cane usually.  His grafts are healing well and he doesn't need to wear a bandage on the inside of his leg anymore.

Tracking the progression of the healing of the inside right leg graft site.  It's come a long way! 

Kyle's nearly empty pill counter for the week.  He uses this to track his pain meds, aspirin and vitamins, which helps a lot as he weens himself off the pain medication.  He is almost entirely off of it, and that's due to his strong will to get back to his normal life.   

Kyle counts out the pills at the start of every week and decreases his dosage of meds as part of a "step down" program recommended by his pain doctors in Bethesda.  Photo by Elsie Deem.
