Oprah, so happy to have you here smile You have a wonderful attitude which I truly believe helps tremendously. Its always so nice to hear from someone who has been helped by OCF without even having made one post.

Sorry but I am not very good with medical terminology. Did you have your jaw removed and replaced with some of your leg? Seems like there have been several people like that recently. Im curious because my L lower jaw was removed and replaced with a steel jaw on Aug 24th, 2009. Would like to compare notes with you.

Thanks so much for taking the step to become a visible OCF member smile
