@clevyjam, flap surgery is not fun. I'm sorry that infection led to your needing flap surgery. I'm tagging others like @alpaca @cpaulestep @blondeboss @loli and @kecm who can share their experiences.
@will24 shared his experience in this related discussion too:
- It's difficult to get used to the radial forearm free flap. Tips? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/radial-free-flap/
Clevyjam, I'm sure this will seem like a very long month as you wait to see if the graft will take. Are you able to eat without a feeding tube?

Oh yes for sure. I have about a finger and a half mouth opening but am able to swallow and chew. I just avoid foods that require heavy chewing like steak etc
I’m going to read the link
Thank you so much
