<div><strong>hi everyone my name is Darren Harris on the 24th of November 2020 I sustained an electrical injury arc flash I suffered 47percent 3rd degree burns all upper body I died twice and was dead for 14minutes and somehow came back to life my story is also on Google just type my name I’m a walking miracle to be here to tell my story I was in a coma ITU for 27 days I have had BTM matrix used before skin graft allows new vascular to develop I had sepsis 3x I had full renal failure chronic Ards lung problem lost my left thumb both ears and tip of my nose and have damaged extensor tendons on both hands I’ve had all my flesh flesh on stomach face and both arms removed and started again with the skin off my legs had around 23surgerys to put me back together I’m still at the early stages of my recovery and im in desperate need of reconstruction surgery to rebuild my appearance and life to help me psychologically as this journey is really difficult I’m 1 in a million to survive what happened to me I’m left with catastrophic life changing injury’s 4 years on I have just had a muscle flap from leg to hand which hasn’t been successful I still can’t open and close my hand and there is no hope for any reconstruction surgery as it is seemed as cosmetic but having full loss of identity is something else only a few understand my main goals atm are to have tissue expansion balloon surgery to the head to recreate my hair line re correction surgery on my hand and neck release surgery are the 3 concerns atm any help towards me having hope to getting the surgery I neeed will be very very appreciated I’ve suffered for many years now and I just feel like I need to be corrected ASSAP Thankyou everyone ❤️ I’m unsure how much it will cost me to get fully fixed but all funds will only be used in reconstruction surgeries privately I will keep everyone uodated with my progress throughout my journey.</strong>

<div>4 years on I have just had a major gracilis flap from leg to the hand and nearly died in hospital with sepsis and nearly lost my leg due to mis management of my condition worsening in hospital care and was rushed in for emergency surgery on my leg to save it and my life as I was on my way packed up leaving the hospital I was stopped and rushed in as I was on my way to the rvi hospital Newcastle the surgery was in hope it would give me better range of movement with the hand but unfortunately the surgery was unsuccessful and my hand is fully locked I can’t open or close it due to multiple problems with in the right hand it has been mis managed from when I had my accident

<div>6months on post surgery my hand still doesn’t work it’s worse than it was it needs a specialist I’m currently at rock bottom with my mental health and well being due to the failure of the hand surgery aswel as a magnitude of other complexities of injuries and appearance I’m desperately wanting to rebuild my life the best I can I just can’t imagine going another 5 years with no hope or plans for reconstruction of my face and appearance Thankyou for reading my story
