The study that I was in at Ohio State did a brush on me every visit. This was after surgeries. It gives them a way to make sure there aren't any intruders. Just like a guard dog. Lets them know if trouble is approaching. It's works as a safe guard. Nothing to it as far as pain or anything.

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.
