Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 5,260 | Thanks all. I am taking it just a little easier but thinking about this jaw bone that can break at anytime and either side. I have to make sure to tell them before they put me out to not bother my mouth by probing around with the mask and things. I am having the surgery at Allegheny General in Pittsburgh , which is the same Hospital I went to in Jan 2009 for the anneurysm surgewry. The 1st time was in 1996 in Wheeling by a very good surgeon. This was supposed to be done in Jan of this year.
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.
