Cathy..I just re-read your first posting, and I see that you wear a prosthesis. I do also, made necessary by a maxillectomy and partial palatectomy. I could have reconstructive surgery, but I am doing quite well with the appliance. If I could snap my fingers, then of course I would love to have my mouth repaired, but I can't face another surgery right now.
