My mother had surgery in February. She had part of her tongue, floor of mouth and mandible on the right side removed. In addition to all the other fun stuff that comes with this surgery her mouth is no longer in proper alignment because of the plate they used to replace her mandible I assume. She has a problem biting what's left of her tongue and the side of her mouth on the good side.She mentioned it to her doctor and he said that she could have surgery to adjust the metal plate so that her mouth is in better alignment. Of course after a month in the hospital already this year, she is not too enamored about the idea of more surgery and hospitalization. Is anyone out there familiar with this type of surgery and is it worth it? My mother is 79 and in pretty good shape, but I think she is beginning to get somewhat depressed and frustrated with her situation.
