I had a 50% jaw replacement in 2006, and now am booked for surgery to remove the titanium strapping inserted then, in preparation for a total TNJ replacement.
The thought of more surgery fills me with dread...tempered with the thought that finally I may have some relief again.
"putting up" with anything only lasts so long. a Lifetime is too long...I'm a stubborn man, but 5 years is enough for me
