Doctors Grow, Transplant Jaw Bone in Man

I just saw this on Yahoo. Did anyone else happen to catch this? It's an amazing story--at least, I think so!

I can't imagine going nine years without being able to eat real food.

I know. It's wild. I still can't get over that poor man not being able to eat solid foods for nine long years! Instead, he had to eat soup and liquids from a straw.

If it was me, I would not choose a "Bratwurst sandwich", bratwurst I only eat when I am going for a vacation in Germany...

I would choose something more tasty!!

As a vegetarian, I wouldn't choose that one either!!

It must have been his favorite food or something.

To not eat in nine year must be....well...awful!!
I think I would after nine years of awful *food through straw* go "binging" for Japanese and Mexican food (not necessarily the same day)...

She's probably in the same boat as this man used to be, since that's the way he was for nine years.
