My plate is titanium. I have numbness in my jaw, and very little feeling on half of my lip. I was told it was from the radiation cutting off the blood to the area. now they are telling me the screws on the plate are loose. The doctor was very upfront with me about taking the plate out. there are many things that could go wrong. The bone could be rapped around the plate. if the jaw breaks there is no second chance and I will have a drastic change in the quality of life. Im afraid. Its on my mind all the time. I think we are both strong people but are human to. I don't dwell on the negative but I do think about it daily.
I was at Big Bear 40 years ago. My aunts and uncles moved to San Bernadino after WW2. My mom and dad stayed In RI
