In which my flavour of EDS is not entirely without its benefits

i.e. post-operative follow-up today: the removal of dressings was followed by mild surprise at just how much I'd healed up and how contented the scars look. I'm informed that the grafts have taken well (but that I shouldn't scrub too hard in the shower, which implies I'm permitted to shower properly again); the staples have all been removed; I'm going to resume power-assisted wheelchair use; and I have cheerfully given my permission for pre- and post-operative photos to feature in his portfolio, so, you know, that'll be happening once he gets his act together to put one up. Cheerful recommendation for Mr Morris of Plymouth and Truro in every regard; please by all means put people who'd like more detail in touch with me.
