IF one hasn't had any significant shedding of grafts or shock loss after surgery, then at what time frame is it safe to assume that phase has passed? I'm 4 1/2 weeks post op & haven't shed any significant amount of grafts, I'm sure I've shed some but not nearly as much as is normal at this point. I have had zero shock loss in both the recipient and donor areas. I know everyone thinks & hopes they'll be one of those rare, lucky exceptions and never shed the grafts ---and I do too! *nl---but I'm also wondering about shock loss. If I make it to week 6 w/zero shock loss is it safe to say I won't have any, or what's the general rule here? Does the same time line (whatever that might be) apply to the grafts shedding or not shedding?
