Thanks Christine,
It sounds like you are talking about a reconstruction of the mandible. I am not getting that, just the dead bone taken out. Does that alter your analysis of what I might expect? So, you know of others that have had this procedure done? The surgery sounds so bad that it almost makes me want to see if I can just live with the dead bone, although all the doctors advise against this.
