Wound ready for skin graft

Writing, loving, hating, shouting, ignoring, living, dreaming, hoping,use any kinds of cells to harvest, wound needs to be healed irespectively, it is frustating

Scraped the skin partial or full thickness like tilapia 

Soaked fully in brine, made a beautiful mesh work

Cleaned, shaped, irrigated wound with delicacy

Planted the skin at the wound site for harvesting

Closed the donor site and the wound site

Now the waiting game begins

Donor site, no concerns, will heal beautifully

The wound site, it depends every single time

Will the wound heal even after the graft

It is not the skill of plastic surgeon

It is not the amount of graft you put

Simply how much cell, could adhere and multiply

We are in the waiting game, it is so hard

How may cells got harvested

Did the wound get infected

Is it at least a partial sucess, tell me please

Author's Note

what do you thing, wound will heal fully, what the surgeon told you any how

Wonderful Linda. Medical, clinical, yet touched with the human emotion of hope. It was pensive reading for me... not only because of the brilliant imagery, but because of the exquisite mechanics as well. I knew half way thru it would be good enough to read again

Thank you very much, you are the only reason, I used medical topic in poetry, you used motor vehicle accident in Mr. Moon, in emasculated, you used a procedure, so I followed you, glad you liked it, plan was taking the reader with me, I think most of them came with me

Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed, this is based on a surgery almost twenty two years back, the way the surgeon did the skin graft amazed me, I was only a student in nursing that time, we had wonderful jokes in operating room most of the time especially procedures like hydrocoele, except kidney surgery time, the kidney surgeon was short tempered. later came to know he was also a great person, great team work too, I used to skip lunch to see heart surgeries, then get yelled by the nursing teachers for being late in the afternoon classes
