I am back no thank you to the internet. Somehow this thing got a virus again and it was nasty. I cured it myself and so far, cross whatever, and it's working. I go to Pittsburgh a week from Monday to see the Plastic Surgeon and see what and if he has come up with anything new to try. I hope he takes this trach out.As you know it is a pain in the rump. I didn't realize that taking care of meds and feeding thru the tube would take so much time. HAPPY EASTER ALL AND KEEP THE SMILES GOING. Luv ya all.


Since posting this. UPMC, Pittsburgh, Oct 2011 until Jan. I averaged about 2 to 3 surgeries a week there. w Can't have jaw made as bone is deteroriating steaily that is left in jaw. Mersa is to blame. Feeding tube . Had trach for 4mos. Got it out April.

Dang, Jim. Don't wait so long to let us know what's going on with you. We all love you and care for you. We want to know what you're going through so plase keep us informed. I sure miss our posts and please let us know what the next step will be for you and if you will get your trach out. Is there any hope for the jaw surgery you were expecting to have but was postponed? Love you and waiting for news.

Its good to hear from you, Jim, and glad that you smacked your computer back into functionality. Hope that your weather is good this coming week, and that you can get out to enjoy it. The red winged blackbirds are back, and I can see (and hear) them in the birch tree outside my window. My husband just got the first mow of the season completed, and our son is visiting for Easter, so all is as it should be here. Best wishes for a good plan in Pittsburg.
