2 June surgery buddies & Cammie &

[Guest guest]

Hi ya'll,

Nine weeks post op today and all is well. I went to the OD today and

she is very happy with the way my bite is coming together and told me

to keep wearing the rubber bands 24-7 and to see her in a month. She

also told me that I should be in braces for about another 6 months.

I still have some residual numbness, but each week is better than the

one before. Nothing I can't deal with.

So, now that the critical part of recovery is over, I figured it was

time for an unveiling of sorts. I haven't been out partying since

May 15th, so I have emailed my group of friends and we are heading

out to the French Quarter on Sunday about 5:30pm for " Trash Disco " .

It's a tradition for us and I am looking forward to seeing everyone.

However futile, we are going to try and put that genie back in the

bottle one more time.

With all that said, I want to add that I will be withdrawing to the

sidelines to once again become an observer and an even rarer

contributor. I want to thank you all once again for all the support

and info. It made the whole experience so much easier for me. I

wish you all the very best and God's blessings on you always!

With regards,

Dale

Dale,

thanks for having kept us in the loop on your progress, being 2

weeks behind you (june 16) for my SARPE/lower/genio, I was really

soaking up all of the posts of buddies that went ahead of me. Good

luck!
