"OCF Canuck" Patient Advocate (1000+ posts) Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 1,357 Likes: 5 | My left leg corresponds to the left side of my tongue free flap, and my right leg corresponds to the right side graft. I have, in their honour - renamed the left "2004" and the right "2007".
I don't/didn't have alot of hair on the upper parts of my thighs which is where they took the tissue/grafts from so I was lucky there. Also, being larger than the average bear gave them choices!
I'm sure it will go well.
