salvage radical neck dissection and free flap /pec flap

Not had exactly that but I have had a pec flap taken, and that's a "Pectoralis Major flap" which is taken from the chest rather than the thigh; consequences a couple of years on are negligible.

Had a dissection in 2014 and yes, still have somewhat limited right arm mobility, but it's just normal now and gives me no bother....other than reaching to top shelf in the supermarket occasionally, have to use my left.

Cheers Mike  Plastic Surgeon said it would be my leg or legs worse case  and he never mentioned  a dissection just about a lump out of my neck , He did mention about movement of shoulder , suppose one has to grateful for having two arms 

Hi All just relaxing in hospital on a Saturday night . I have had a load of dead tissue gooe and hard bits removed from my neck and flap  and  mussel taken from leg  . They have gone back as far as they can is my understanding . So that's it . Waiting game now but all good and fairly easy  so far X to All 

Good to hear you're sounding optimistic and chilled.

For me being on the ward was always the easy bit; would be wrong to say I enjoyed it but it was a great security blanket. My personal speciality was struggling to sleep all night when it was quiet and then passing out when the chaos of ward rounds started, many times I had to be nudged awake to find myself surrounded by team/students.

Hope you have a good night x

Hi Min glad you’ve popped on. Everything x for results snd speedy recovery. 
Hugs  Hazel x

Glad it’s done Min. You can put all your energy into healing now. Positive, healing thoughts are winging your way

Hi Min, good to hear it's all done. I know ward life is chaotic with all the toing and froing and obs and general clatter but I hope you can relax a little. Hope you managed some sleep last night and that you heal quickly so you can be home. Hugs
