Had much the same as others have mentioned including Pete's first free flap surgery.
Have had a few issues since then with the section between the flap and tongue.
In fact had another (day surgery only) operation yesterday.
The operation went well and even though I had a fair bit of pain and swelling yesterday I am feeling a lot better his morning.
With the help of Panadeine Forte I managed to sleep well for 5 hours straight last night.
Counted 15 stiches which means there are probably more.
They did take a small graft from inside of cheek to put over the area as a barrier but from the same side which is good!
On a liquid diet again for a week.
