My sis helped me during the last weeks of radiation, (my husband had to leave the country for two weeks)she moved in with me and I will NEVER forget how wonderful she was to me, it brought us together even closer. I am two years out but the scars still bother me, however, I realize how very much I have to be grateful for and the scars don't seem so bad. SMILE!!!Anyway....after all that, thanks for the info on the water pik, I did not realize they had one with an attachment for the tongue. You are in my prayers Betty and so is your sister. Love, Carol
