Hello Jennifer:
Welcome to the family as both a new member and as an experienced 4 year survivor. I'm sure you have as much knowledge to give others as well as the information you seek.

If you were originally congratulating someone else on making it to 5 years you will need to "reply" to their thread, and you can do that by going to the reply window after the last post in their thread.

You have obviously been reading the forum for a little while as you learned you needed and then wrote a nice signature describing yourself.

I don't know anything about tongue reconstruction, but others will be along soon enough to address that. In the meantime - welcome again to the family.

Tony
