Hi Jim, glad to hear surgery is going to be soon for you. I hope it puts an end to the pain you are experiencing once it has healed. Steve is heading into surgery next friday to have some of the dead bone removed from his jaw. Thankfully he doesn't appear to be in any pain. Stay strong Jim and keep getting that nutrition. You are an inspiration to us all smile Sending you lots of love and hugs xoxo
