Thanks again Travis. You are the #1 son going thru OCF forums. When I called her, she told me i must have the wrong number. It took me 3 trys to say my name so she understood it, LOL Not her fault, Mine becuse I forgot how bad I talk..But then we did have a nice chat. Until the nurse took over.


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.
