Dinah,
Even though I did not have RAD, I still have problems with eating certain things. That is why when I'm in public I always eat something soft or that I can use a knife and fork. Of course just going through this damn bone graft I'm really picky. But I have had problems since my first surgery almost two years ago.
I understand the "Oh yeah, we forgot to tell you line." I don't think that will ever go away.
Take Care.
Anne.
