Erik,

Thank you so much for the information. You made me feel a little bit better about this whole thing. The problem is we aren't even sure if the flap is taking yet. One day they say it is and the next day they aren't sure. It's so discouraging. Hopefully they won't have to take out the flap too. When you had the black dead portion of your tongue removed was it very painful after surgery? How long did the surgery take?

Thanks,
Karen
