After my first surgery, I had 7 weeks of radiation. Not funny. After a few weeks, I started having problems... a wound that wouldn't heal, bumps where there shouldn't be bumps. Apparently, I had a few loose screws (on the titanium splint they used to hold the fibular graft in place where they removed part of my mandible). My twisted friends thought this was hilarious. So did I. We all needed a laugh.
I was just bummed that they had to remove the titanium. Until then, my nephew thought I's become some kind of secret super hero. "Titanium Man!" Oh, well.
I figure we can laugh, or we can cry. I choose to laugh.
