hi Gabriele

sorry i didnt see your post earlier, so replying now!

yup they went for above elbow, but on the lateral (outside) of the arm along the bicep muscle. PS said best tissue to work with there, and will give me some bulk in my new tongue.

you might have spotted one of my other posts about the nerve damage i've had as a result of the graft. annoying, but slowly getting over it i think. still not able to sleep without painkillers because of it though which is a bummer.

my arm not very hairy where they took it so i might get lucky and not get a hairy tongue!

im in sydney also, was on the northern beaches, but moved out of my place back to mums (inland a bit!) before going in for surgery. staying here till i start working again regularly.

cheers
