MY VISIT TO SEE THE SURGEON AT UCSF HOSPITAL ABOUT MY PERC SITE TODAY

                                           MY PROCEDURE TODAY AT UCSF      
    I was diagnosed with  having GRANULATION TISSUE which consists of new connective tissue and       tiny blood vessels that form on the surfaces of the wound during the healing process.....Was treated with SILVER NITRATE to try to stop the bleeding and break down the GRANULATION TISSUE so the
wound will seal and heal..

Over the next two weeks I will be treating it from home with the Silver Nitrate Applicators every other day as well as my dressing changes too. The pain is moderate as it burns alot but has been very sore for the last two weeks as well....Looking forward to putting this behind me in so many ways as the last 51 days I have been concerned and uncomfortable......Thanks to all of you for your support and prayers.....CHRIS

Site after procedure today
