Jim,platu. I had a segmental mandibulectomy. I knew I was on here for something. Don't even worry. I was odd man out because I was one of few that my jawbone replacement/plastic surgery did not take. They thought it was disastrous and now I look not so awful bad and can eat and talk and still turn a couple heads(when they look at the other profile) HAHA. I thought my life was over and still I have a lot to cope with but I am working full time and
even though I had to learn to swallow again and chew differently,
I am doing it. I am the only one I know that jaw surgery and replacement with a bone from elsewhere did not take and look how
I am making it work out.

You are going to be fine and make me jealous because your reconstrution will work. Just ask Malka. I am the outsider here
and I am OK.

You always make it Jim. I love you because you are so strong-
you can be stronger than me!!!!!!!!!!
Take heart.
Love
Debbie
