Guest guest Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 --Hi again cammie, I just found the other post from you so thought i would reply. college is great thanks!!! i start back in two weeks and cannot wait, just going to throw myself at it! Erm we didnt do the orthos office in the end, i think it was meant to be for the second year. However i have chose specialist textiels instead of design this eyar so i wont be designing unfortunatley. However i did design a photshop project about this site - it was a project about a personal journey, so i decided to do mine. I turned some heads doing it aswell and made alot of new friends. they were all so interested in hearing about the surgery and the site and everything. were all famous now hehe. I included messages from you guys in the work, also my surgical wires and hooks lol. Peoples faces were a sight for sore eyes. If i can i will try and post them, im not sure how it will work unless i crate another link, as they are on a disk, like a slide show....???? Your guys office sounds grand!! Is that the consulting room aswell? Last time i went the waiting room had had a face lift with an added coffee machine. My orthos office has one of the dentist chair thingies and then just two chairs by the window. Its weird as the offices are built inside a porta cabbin. there is a view of the railway line, thats about as glam as it gets im afraid. Aww but theres wee pictures around the room and on that lamp above your head, from little children, sweetness!!

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 That's my ortho's office that's so fancy. My surgeon has a typical doctor's office. And nope, my ortho has separate little rooms for consults, mold- making, x-rays and the like. His waiting room actually has two video games, but I never got very far with them -- I asked it to give me a Porsche and instead it handed me a Hummer. And there was never an 8- year-old available enough to show me how to work it! At least he has it if Hurricane Ivan doesn't blow it away. The thing is headed smack for us, Wednesday night. So any aversive thoughts any of you might wish to contribute will certainly be welcome! Cammie > > > -HELLO Sue, and welcome to the group.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 Hi Cammie: I was wondering if you could forward me, to my e-mail, the surgeon's contact info who responded regarding the voice after surgery. My upper was advanced 3mm which I know doesn't seem like much, but I perceive my voice as much more nasally. Others don't claim to notice much, but to me it seems many of my words get muffled-up within my nose. It's a very bothersome feeling, so I am trying to find some experts in this area for advice. I'm not a singer, but am in sales and on the phone a lot. BTW, does the change in your friends voice bother her in any way? Many, Many Thanks Mark > > > > , et als -- > > > > I still refuse to believe that there isn't an expert out there who > > can help with this question. So, I finally had an idea.
