Hi Gloria:

The first week or two after the glossectomy was not so fun - pain and couldn't eat anything solid. Most of the tongue grew back within the first 6-8 weeks. It still has a numb feeling sometimes, but otherwise isn't so bad.

It seems like your attitude is great, and that will make a big difference. I wish I knew about this forum the two times I had to deal with this....it would have made things easier. But I'm still glad to be on the forum because there's always things to discuss and learn.

I hadn't really heard much of Zach....I think I saw something on the evening network news one day as I was doing something else but didn't give it my full attention. I did look up some information on him and it does sound very inspirational.

Have a great day!
