Last visit I said no more updates, but really, you HAVE to see this. No more need to warn those with weak stomach's - the ear is looking quite healed. I know it's not quite there, but I "wear" it and know how tender it still is, but the results on the front are outstanding.
The back looks bad, but in all reality it is 1,000% better than it's been. There are still little "lesions" but nothing horrible, and not really notice unless you are morbid and zooming WAY in like I do to see how well it's healing. To my defense I had a VERY hard time staying out of the pool this weekend, and last weekend as well, staying out of the ocean. Looking at this now let's me know that every time I have NOT gotten in the water it's been a good choice.
There are a very few spots that are in need of more healing time. It's almost "normal" on the back now. I figure in about two or three more weeks it will look as good as the front as it seems to be healing that direction - front to back. The front looked horrible for a while, and it healed, so there is hope for the back as well. Now if I could just not SLEEP on it. There's the million dollar investment - someone needs to invent a way to get a molded ear protector for those having ear surgery to allow them to sleep at night and not crush their poor ears.

Why thank you - well, thank the doc who did the work. It's getting there... still has a ways to go, but I'm sure we're on the way there now... Had my doubts for a while there.
Looks great!
