Warning the pictures will get increasingly graphic. If you cant handle it then stop at the first one.

So I'm the asshole that did something really stupid and got really bad frostbite burn. Initially diagnosed as 2nd degree. But then later diagnosed as 3rd degree. And because there are no limits to my stupidity and arrogance, I delayed surgery for a week and had an infection nearly go septic because I thought a surgeon was overreacting when he said I needed to be admitted... until exactly what he predicted ended up happening and I realized my error.

I've had 1 surgery where they cut 1 inch deep (2.54 centimeters). Then I had another surgery where they cut even more (not sure how much) and they applied some sort of temporary skin graft. I got a 3rd surgery in just about a week for a final skin graft.

But be honest: I'm always going to have gaping holes in my legs, right? I've been taking Norcos, Percocets, Oxycodone and Dilaudid in a hospital setting and at first the meds were so strong I wasnt actually sure I was going to be ok after they were administered. But scratch to a week later and now I'm so tolerant I barely feel anything at all when they administer the meds, they don't make me drowsy anymore, and they dont help the pain much. 

I dont even know why I'm making another post. But I just kind of wanted to share and see if anybody has an injury of similar scope and can tell me what I'm realistically looking at down the line in terms of both pain and appearance.

I'm limited to 20 pictures. So I've just included what I felt were the major changes in development. 

Will I ever heal?
