I broke my right hip and femur and they had to do a fasciotomy to prevent the swelling from cutting off the circulation to my leg. I have to leave it open like that for 6-8 weeks. I thought some of you might be interested in seeing the pics of it.

skin graft hurts like hell
update:
I just came from the doctor and my skin graft got infected and didn't take. Now i'm going to have to repeat the whole process again.
new pics:
pic1 around the edge is the scar tissue that is growing. all the wholes are from staples that held the skin graft on
pic2 the place to the left is where they took the skin from for the skin graft that didn't work
update:
i'm back from the doctor. He wanted to do another skin graft and i said no. I am now aloud to put minimal weight on my leg. I go back in a month to see him again. By then hopefully it is almost completely scarred over.
update:
It has been a couple weeks since i posted pictures so here is a current one.
