Hi Pete

Hope you are going well and you have not had any additional problems with the flap.

My airway has been severely damaged from radiotherapy so it was decided by the anethestists prior to my last surgery to debulk my tongue flap that they would put some sort of a tube thing via my nose and down my throat that way.(I can't remember the name of it)

One nostril was numbed with lots of spray before they actually put me out to it and then stuck the tube in my nose - just in case there were any difficulties with my breathing during the procedure.
