Hi guys! Here’s an update on the day after my second fractional CO2 laser therapy treatment. The goal of laser therapy is to loosen tight scar banding, reproduce natural collagen, and help with discoloration from burns and skin grafts. All the tiny red squares that you see on my skin are from the shape of the tool. A fractional laser shoots out about 1000 tiny lasers at a time. Thank goodness most of my nerves are fried, because it’s already painful as is. I’m very grateful for Dr. Ava at Rivé plastic surgery & med spa. Dr. Ava is the only plastic surgeon in Northern Nevada with this laser. The universe is on my side with that. Even my surgeons at UC Davis are just now getting their hands on this machine. However, my insurance did deny me of this treatment. I am very grateful that Dr. Ava thought of me to be a testimonial client. The universe works in beautiful ways. I want to start using this page as a progress page for my life altering accident that happened December 13, 2023. Not only for me personally, but for everyone interested in my journey. I also want to use this page as a way to advocate for living life and for anyone who can relate in any tiny form. Living as an amputee and burn survivor has shifted my life for the best. No matter how life goes you’ve gotta get back up and dance. Life didn’t give me lemons, but it set up a lemonade stand for me. Let’s boogie. 777
