Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 5,260 | Thanks for the info and advice all. I will call them at the 1st sign of needing help. I drove from the UPMC in Pittsburgh right after surgery had no trouble at all. I don't know if any of you have ever driven in Pittsburgh., but that is the worse traffic I have experienced and always congested, even on their interstates. What I go thru here with traffic is not a bit heavy. But when it's time, I am ready to yell help.
Since posting this. UPMC, Pittsburgh, Oct 2011 until Jan. I averaged about 2 to 3 surgeries a week there. w Can't have jaw made as bone is deteroriating steaily that is left in jaw. Mersa is to blame. Feeding tube . Had trach for 4mos. Got it out April.
