DesertDrifter, Thanks so much for passing on what scant news you received. And for all voices of support received both privately and publicly while i was away much appreciated. i managed to read a few before crashing yesterday evening. Know they were all much appreciated, more than i feel capable of expressing well here and now.
One major correction: the dog, according to it's chip, was not a Pitbull, but a Staffie

He looked more like
Bastard.
i was walking home as usual on the sidewalk, or the road, can't remember for sure. Normally two dogs bark there, behind a wooden fence. I had never seen them before. This time a garage door at the end of the fence was open and one of two attacked me. He, assuming it was a male, managed a good mouthful from my left inside forearm, bare teeth marks on my belly, and scratches on my right inside forearm.
I only remember swearing at the viciousness and kicking and swinging a small bag with a small bottle of Chateau Chantelle i had just bought in it .. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=142143274 .
I remember the dog grabbed the bag in his teeth for a bit, so having the bottle in it probably helped to swing it at his head. Which must have helped to distract or deter him a bit.
I don't remember much of the attack except that and swearing and kicking at a black and white viciously attacking dog. And seeing my left arm hanging dripping blood, with a flap hanging down from the open wound.
The owner coming out could have helped stop the attack. I don't know, but remember saying to him "Your fucking dog just attacked me".
He was apologizing profusely, but don't recall him offering to help. He's a renter at the place on the corner of where my street hits a bigger thoroughfare. About two small blocks from my place at the dead-end of the street. I walked to a house 3 up from mine and, dripping blood on his patio knocked on his front door. His wife called the ambulance and the police. I remember her saying "a dog bite" and me rudely perhaps, calling to her a vicious dog attack, thinking that might get an ambulance more quickly. The neighbors wrapped my arm in something. Not sure, but i think the ambulance got there in about 15 minutes. Will get more detail from them when i see them again.
I received excellent care. Initial cleaning operation took place almost immediately. Then was on a machine for a time supposed to be three days. The doctors called it a fusion bandage, looks it was this one
Vacuum-Assisted Closure of a Wound

They took the suction machine off after three days, as i was on the operation theater list to go in then. I told them the wound looked "like a dry river bed." One dr. said "that is poetic." LOL It is an irregular mess measuring 13cm in two directions. 15cm diagonally.
Partly because of covid patients in hospital it took about 6-7 days to get into the operating theater, instead of the planned three. On my asking if that was good or bad, one dr. told me it was ok as the longer that suction machine ws on the better.
They took skin off my outside left leg and put it on the left forearm.
After that op the dr. said sometimes they send patients home with the suction machine on again this time on top of the graft. That for five days. But because i lived alone he suggested i stay. i agreed and he said it was better for the medical team, anyway.
I didn't really feel any pain from the operation but maybe that was because every time they asked, i said yes. I did at times have a bit of a headache. My favorite of all the opioids was Endone

Heaps of thanks and appreciation again, for all the expressions of concern.
