To Stacey: Stretching to a Month

[Guest guest]

Hi Stacey. I didn't want you to think I forgot about you. I'll check

in this weekend when we can start counting recovery time in months

rather than days and weeks. Can you believe it?

Things here are improving though I had a small scare. I had a few

bubble/bumps on my left gum line and reading all the antibiotic talk

had me fearing the worst. Alas, it was all unnecessary; the doc said

it's natural as everything starts to reattach. Whew.

Eating wise, this week's a double challenge. Try pulling all

breads/pastas from your diet for a week (Passover) and you're really

relying heavily on smoothies and potatoes. To old pros like us, it's

easy.

My next big milestone will be my first meeting with my orthodontist

since the surgery. My surgeon plans to " release " me to him on Monday

and then I'll have him hem and haw about how much longer I'll be

braced up.

I hope all is well and you're continuing to avoid the stairs! LOL

All the best,

Fran

--- Hiya Fran

thanks for thinking of me. I know a whole month. its

gone so fast yet at the same time it seems like ages ago that i went

through it all.

things are still going ok for me. swelling is going down and i can

now see what other people have said about looking different everday.

Compared to how i looked before the op i can see quite a big

difference and my dad is forever saying how much my face has changed

yet other people can hardly tell. I think i will b happy with the

results though.

having a few problems with dry skin all over my face. i had it a week

post op but then it went away.now it has come back with avengance. i

think its because i have much more facial movement now and so the

skin is all breakin. I just doesnt look particularly pleasant but hey

its just another temporary problem to work through.

get in touch soon
