It does sound tricky. I do trust the doctors, they are the ones that initially did my first surgery. I had my first surgery almost exactly three years ago. They called me back yesterday and I got an appointment with them on the 19th. I'll will have to wait until then, if I can stand the pain. I'm trying not to worry but I can't be left with no way to talk ever again. I never had reconstruction surgery, I wonder if that will help me at this point.
