James, My wish for you is that you don't need all of the surgeries a lot of us had , and that you don't have to lose anybody parts. There are a few of us that have had everything but the bathroom sink installed in our bodies. Just as many taken away too. LOL

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.
