Let's hope for good this time!!! I'm back!!!

Yesterday I went in for the rework on my lower advancement. When

the OS got in there, 3 out of the 4 screws had broken loose. Based

on our analysis of the ones that broke, and what it felt like when I

finally became congizant, it is apparent that when I was dropped

into my bed going from recovery to my room, the jarring broke the

jaw loose.

The second surgery went better than the first. It took nearly and

hour becuase he had some damage to repair, but now I have 3 screws

on each side. I can feel my teeth touching on both sides, and the

swelling is less than last week's. I do have a little less energy

post surgery. I did have to take a nap before a shopping trip to

Costco this afternoon.

My surgery was around 1:30 yesterday afternoon and by 4:00 I was

back in my room. I fully awoke in recovery and received 3 separate

shots of phentanol to cut the pain, as well as anti-nausea

medicine. Back in my room I got some morphine at a higher dose, and

that helped as well. But, by 9:30 I was off the morphine, and on to

Vicodin (2x). I took my last dose of Vicodin at 5:30 this morning,

and now 8.5 hours later I think I might be getting ready for another

dose, but maybe I'll just try some ibuprofen.

That's it for now. Thanks for all your continued thoughts, prayers,

goood wishes and support. For those of you who are pre-op, the

waiting is definitely the hardest part. Even with having to have

this done twice in a week, I have no regrets. For those of you who

are WITH ME ON THE OTHER SIDE!!! hang on to my heels, shirt tails,

or anything you can grab if you see me looking at that door again!

Hmmm.

Surgery and more surgery.

Then morphine, vicodin, a nap, and youre all ready to go to Costco.

You kick a$$, Dammitt!

Im afraid to ask--Just how much energy do you have on a regular day???

Dammit...you had me excited and nervous all within one week. I am

having lower advancement only next year and I thought " wow, 45

minutes in surgery and he's doing great " and I didn't feel as much

stress...but then you had to go back and I instantly became nervous.

I guess the moral of the story is to tell them not to drop us on the

bed so hard!

Glad you are doing great and I wish you continued success

Also there's something to be said for being banded shut for a few

days post-op. You don't have your jaws flying around while you're

in a semi-conscious state.

Well, as the father of 3 kids (8, 11, 14), I do have to keep up with

them on a regular basis including being the soccer coach for my 8

year old's competitive team. But, I'm no super human. I just never

tend to sit still. When I found out I'd have to have the surgery,

my oldest's remark was " Dad, you can't sit still for 2 hours, how

are you going to sit still for 2 weeks? "

Well, I am human. Although I have to tell you I do have less energy

after surgery 2 than surgery one. Today I feel COMPLETELY drained.

Last week at this time I was itching to mow the lawn (waited until

Monday to do that, just to please my bride). Today I went to the

water park with the kids, and sat for four hours, then came home and

slept for two. But, otherwise I feel great!

YIKES!!! Dammit.

I'd think you were joking if I hadn't seen a hospital manhandling a

feller with a broken shoulder. OWWWW!
