Wayne,

Don't feel bad about being slow to respond, it's a busy time of year.

Did they do all of your reconstruction in the same surgery that they removed the cancer? I understand I'll be having a couple of surgeries to do that. But in my case, I don't think I'll be losing quite as much jaw as you did. Maybe I'll be okay without it for a while.

You have a great attitude about dealing with the limp because you are now cancer free. It's amazing the things that don't seem like such a big deal so long as we can still be alive. Sure I'll be mourning the loss of part of myself, but so long as I am around to see my kids grow up, I can do it. That's what is keeping me going for sure. I grew up without a Mom and it pretty much sucked. I don't want that for my babies.
