So sorry to hear what a horrid time your husband is having. I have a small section of a metal plate exposed under my chin which is being removed in 2 weeks and I know how frightening that is. This is one of several plates that I have holding my "new jaw" in place.
I hope everything is ok until the surgeon sees him next.
