    You are one tough mudder!

    Boy, this really is an odyssey for you, keep hanging in there!  Sounds like you've got the best man for the job, top of the line.  Prayers that all continues to go well for you.

    Another Delay

    Well an appointment with second maxillary surgeon who is to make the teeth said there is still exposed bone.  She will be able to make the permanent denture, but now the hard part is getting the insurance company to pay for it.  There are parts they can get done through medical insurance, but other parts, that they have a hard time getting approvals on.  We will need letters from doctors stating that this is medically necessary and fight until they concede that this really is medically necessary. 

    Another appointment next week to see how we procede .

    I'm getting my teeth

    Impressions taken yesterday.  There is still some exposed bone, but the Maxillary surgeon said that might from now on and is caused by the radiation. 

    But he gave his blessing to the other doctor to go ahead and start the impressions.  I go back in 3 weeks for the first fitting which will be just the plate and depending on the fit, they will start putting teeth into it soon after.

    I will be able to eat again.
