Hey Ashley, Thanks so much for your reply! You really made me comfortable going through this surgery with my sister. Her surgery was 6/2 and she is doing really well. She is talking but sounds like she has cotten in her mouth because her tongue is still swollen. She is also eating any liquid she wants. I just hope that her swelling goes down soon and she will talking somewhat normal. She is also dying for a london broil on the BBQ..We will be going back for her follow up on Thursday which would be 2 weeks post surgery.. I believe they are going to tell her she will need radiation which is going to be hard for her. Between the recovery from surgery and then going through that is going to be very tough.. This is also very tough for me but i am trying to be strong and supportive. Again thanks so much for your post. It is very comforting to see how well you are doing after surgery!!
