Hi Denversis
I'm waiting to have the same surgery, I've been told that it will be a long haul, but that I will be able to eat and speak again, I expect a lot of hard work on my part, I go to the hospital tomorrow, hope to be given a date for the operation soon. so tell your sister to hang on in there.. we all can do this..
Sunshine... love and hugs
Helen
