I didn't know that about the calf muscle. I tried to Google variations of "moving calf muscle to protect shin" and came up with nothing but a woman in a support group speaking about how painful it was when her calf muscle was moved. Does anyone here know how that would work walking? Like will they move the muscle back when they perform the graft? Kelly, feel free to answer this. If nothing else, you're a font of information about weird or unusual medical procedures. This part of your treatment is very interesting.She needs to be thinking about how grotesque her legs are going to end up. Skin grafting is an incredible medical treatment, but it most often looks horrendous. The skin just won’t align the same once transplanted. Not to mention, they moved her calf muscle to her shin in order to protect the bone. So that will be a huge lump. Most people only get grafts because they have to and are thankful that they had any options for healing. Then you have assholes like Kelly who did this to themselves for attention, but at least she will have to live with this decision for the rest of her sad life, long after anyone pays her any attention at all for it.
It's hard to see how she could ever walk again with her calf muscle either entirely moved in front of her shin, or even halved between front and back. The upside for her is that the problems the scar tissue will cause her mobility combined with whatever rehab goes on with a relocated calf muscle will ensure she at least gets lots of attention in PT.
Jesus, the state of her.
