Since finding this site, I quickly identified you as one of my heroes. I'll tell you that this surgery is tough, I did have my jaw replaced with my fibula and also had flap done with tissue from around my fibula. It changes some things but all in all I'll say it's not so bad....much better then the alternative.
Stay strong my friend, my heart goes out to you. Use your strength and stubborness to beat this shit into submission my friend.
Your friend and fellow Frack!
