first reconstructive surgery - 06-03-2010 02:24 AM
hello everyone,
it has been a while since i've been here. future FIL has been resting and recovering.
big step last weekend- attended fiance's graduation from cornell for his masters- first real venture out in public and first big trip from home- an hour and a half away = even posed for some pictures- i was so proud that he was brave enough to do it. i hope he feels energizd and realizes now that he can still go out and enjoy life.
june 16th surgery is scheduled- to take some muscle and skin from his fore arm and put it in his mouth "to help him open his mouth"- this is apparently one of the first reconstructive surgeries- this is all the info i've received- anyone know anything more about what this might entail??? has anyone had anything similar?? sorry for the vagueness, but as ive mentioned before i get very limited info.... any insight is appreciated
hope everyone is doing OK
