        Teresa or others, I hope you are all doing weel and still available to this thread, I could use some comments. My wife is scheduled for a large full thickness skin graft on her ankle next month. I'm looking for information about the experience. Not melanoma but sarcoma. Doc needs to establish better margins by removing about a playing card size of full thickness skin.

        What was the donor site ? Was there a need for a second split thickness graft for the donor site ?

        What was recovery like ?
