Hi I am a natural worrier just my makeup also so very analytical so I wonder about everything it is truly a curse at times and at other times it has been a benefit. I am just still wondering if getting a flap done causes you much grief from what I am reading and understanding it is really delicate surgery. I am basically having the whole bottom of my mouth removed and reconstructed with wrist skin and a free flap. I am no stranger to work done in my mouth as I have had all my teeth removed ealier in life so have had experience with the messed up mouth but the doctor explained to me that the flap was so my tongue would be useable and not just flop around to one side. I am just curious about the healing process did how long before eating again did you have trouble eating and did you need much speech therapy? Gosh sorry to bombard you but things I have been thinking about

Thanks again for writing

Dianne
