Thanks pete, I just read it and relearned about stainless. The oly thing thaty bothers these stainless steel parts, is when I accidently hit my shoulder with the staple against something . I did this the other dsy onm a door and am going crazy with the pain I caused myself. It hurts more when I sit still so I keep busy.

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.
