Thanks, Donna. It's nice to hear that you didn't have trouble with your grafts. Hopefully mine will heal up nicely, too. It seems so odd to have part of my leg in my mouth. Last night I dreamed that I had to shave my tongue when I was shaving my legs! The doctor said it will help a lot with the quality of my speech, so all in all I think it's going to end up being a very good thing.
