Pittsburgh bound and a new life begins. That is yhe day I join the new jaw ones in OCF and feel more what they have gone thru. I did get back up to 150 with the feeding tube and still going for more weight.
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. --- Passed away 5/14/14, will be greatly missed by everyone here
