Title: titanium plate is now out!
Post by: teffaz on February 07, 2010, 01:22:17 pm

Hello, friends!
My surgery last Friday went well (see thread: titanium plate exposed). The surgeon removed my titanium plate and designed a flap of adjacent skin to cover the area.

I haven't seen my surgeon for my post-op yet, but by looking in the mirror, it looks as though he used the same or nearly the same incision that I had for my translab surgery. This new scar is pretty much that familiar half-moon shape behind the ear: lots of stitches!

Just another bump on the AN road. . . .

I know your prayers and good thoughts have helped! You are wonderful!!!

Best,
Brenda (teffaz)

I'm pleased to learn that the 'repair' went well.  Here's hoping there are no more 'bumps'!
