Mine took about a month to be manageable but close to a year to fully heal.

Wow, prayers out to you. It’s frustrating, I had a skin graft done which isn’t painful. They cut the wound and then take skin from a different area and fill it in. Never had anything but that. The wound vac is a headache. Mine are on my buttocks and groin so sitting down would disconnect the machine. Mind you this machine went with you 24/7. It was really a hassle. The wound vac sped up the recovery. My nurse was 3 days a week. I believe it took 3 weeks.
