Recent picture of me 4 years on

4 years on I have just had a major gracilis flap from leg to the hand and nearly died in hospital with sepsis and nearly lost my leg due to mis management of my condition worsening in hospital care and was rushed in for emergency surgery on my leg to save it and my life as I was on my way packed up leaving the hospital I was stopped and rushed in as I was on my way to the rvi hospital Newcastle the surgery was in hope it would give me better range of movement with the hand but unfortunately the surgery was unsuccessful and my hand is fully locked I can’t open or close it due to multiple problems with in the right hand it has been mis managed from when I had my accident
This is a picture of my hand before surgery
This is the flap freshly done

6months on post surgery my hand still doesn’t work it’s worse than it was it needs a specialist I’m currently at rock bottom with my mental health and well being due to the failure of the hand surgery aswel as a magnitude of other complexities of injuries and appearance I’m desperately wanting to rebuild my life the best I can I just can’t imagine going another 5 years with no hope or plans for reconstruction of my face and appearance Thankyou for reading my story
