Who had Osteomyelitis and lost her jaw for a while.Hi this is Jo.I had 6 oral implants put in a year and a half ago,Actually getting close to 2 years.She has her picture with a mask and also her back pack antibiotics.I just had sinus surgery.I had been begging my oral surgeon to culture the infection that was constantly in my mouth.I finally found a very good E.N.T. and she did the surgery to take care of this on Sept the 25th.Just a few weeks ago.For all this time Since Sept 25th.There has been no infection.I was invited to a surprise birthday party for my husband and I had not worn my dentures as she had sutures in there.I have not had any indication that my surgery didn't work until about an hour before I had to go to the party.I was told by my E.N.T. that she cleaned it all out real good.And she did do the cultures and said that they showed Yeast and Staph.Now it seems to have returned.I would like to take a copy of that picture of the dear girl who showed us all she had to take constant IV Antibiotics on a back pack type contraption.I think a picture speaks a thousand words.I would like to take the picture with me and tell her I do not want that to happen to me.But I cannot remember who it was.Please if you could help me at all.I would appreciate it if that same girl would speak out and help me with what she went through.Just to show the doctor.I would not show it to anyone else.I promise to keep her identity confidential.I just cannot explain my fears.I get so panicy going to the doctor.And it seems like I get tongue tied when it comes to expanations.Thank you in advance for helping me.If someone else remembers, that would be great to get it to me before I leave the house tomorrow at 2:00 p.m.It would speak volumes and I think it would help me explain that after 29 oral surgeries I am still having problems.And this opersation was supposed to solve all that..This is Jo to anyone who remembers who it was.Thanks so so so much.Love Jo
