Deb

Way to go. You and Bill are inspirational. It's really good to have posts like yours when oral cancer patients triumph over trismus to the point of not needing their Therabite instead of dreary stories like mine.
My ENT surgeon and prosthodontist haven't given me much hope on emulating Bill's success but I can dream. They seem pretty durable since they are just highly overpriced plastic levers on a hinge so even if I have to do it posthumously, I intend to follow your example. (okay, technically I wouldn't be doing it, but I did update the instructions in my "death book" ).
