DUDE!! What's the story behind that?



I fell off a bike . . . or out of an airplane.

After having destroyed my Ulna, and Radial head I developed compartment syndrome . Compartment syndrome is somewhat common but was not taking seriously in my condition. To relieve the pressure caused, doctors do a fasciotomy . Which is basically filleting the area open, because of the pressure the skin shrivels away requiring the skin graft. In my case, further surgeries have stretched the existing skin and removed the grafted skin. The little lasso part is all that’s left of the grafted skin.

With that loop looking bit up by the wrist, it looks like a lasso. :D

Doesn't look too bad, considering. You done with surgeries on it yet?



Yeah the lasso thing is skin from my right hip. It's what's left of the skin graft, the original doctors did. It's really weird skin that has this cheese grater texture.

I do have one more surgery, making it the 7th on this arm :S

I'm thinking when all of this is done; I'll get a really cool tattoo, like a zipper, incorporated with scar. That would be cool
