Wow Jim looks completely different.

 

 

Yeah, losing your whole jaw will do that to a guy.

 

I hope Jimbo can find some peace and live out the rest of his days in some sort of comfort.  I just don't have a great feeling about this.

He's walking pretty good for having part of his leg taken out two weeks ago!

 

Yeah definitely.

Fibula resection is a tough one.

I treated a guy last year who had similar procedure, fibula bone piece taken out and grafted into his shoulder (not jaw)

His walking came back pretty quick, but it was painful.

He also wasn't a cancer patient, so bone healing is a lot slower for Jim due to that.

Wishing him the best.

I met him as a kid back in the early 90s, was a great experience.
