Hi,
Hi,

I also have a new forearm flap tongue created 3/8. I was eating in a week having a peg but not using it outside the hospital. I used Thickit available in Rite Aid in the US to thicken watery foods. Since about 2 weeks out I have been able to eat anything fairly well. Lots of thick items like sour cream. I am out 5 weeks now and my arm/ fingers are still sore but healing and am taking tylenol 2 a couple times a day. My tongue is getting more adept at swallowing items like rice which are harder to manipulate. My neck dissection site is getting less numb daily.
You will also improve.
regards,
Howard
