Gnelson, Please don't get frustrated. This afternoon at 4:00 PM I'm going to the have the bone graft that was put in a little over two weeks ago taken out. It has been like having a really bad tooth ache for three weeks now. The whole point in this exercise was to try to replace my jaw bone to the point where I was able to get implants. Am I going to take a second shot at this? I'm not sure yet. Part of the procedure was a sucess and part wasn't. We didn't think about how the movement of my tongue would affect the jaw. Because my tongue is sewn to the bottom of my mouth, it just kept openning up the incision. I'll let you know what my decision is, but I'm probably going to go for it one more time.

Take care.

Anne.
