Irish! (fiddlesticks & cammie too)

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the support. Wow, Kat is back here too. This is almost

like 2 years ago. Yes, Irish- I remember having plenty of energy

for showers & yet passing out on the x-ray man (he still grins at me

& asks how I'm doing everytime I'm up there). Big difference this

time due to I couldn't get enough liquids in me last time so after a

few days my body just went kaput. My tongue would try to swallow

something & instead it would just flow right out the sides of my

mouth. But since it is still in it's new postion with nothing

having been moved around, it works just fine. I drank out of a cup

right away. And I ate tuna & noodles tonight. (I did blend

stuff the first few days - I actually missed some of my smoothies &

recipes from the last time- heh, heh)

I popped my head in at work today to say hi & I'm supposed to attend

classes with everyone else this Thursday & Friday in our sister

office. So only a week plus one day this time compared with 4 full

weeks last time & I could of used more due to my sleeping

dysfunction that I developed due to the anethesia.

Hey, did you get that allar base cinching (spelling?) when you had

either one of your surgeries? I did this time & had a stuffed up

nose for 2 days. I didn't have much of a problem with that the

first time & wondered if the ones who had that done were more likely

to have the nasal congestion.

Okay, well, thanks everyone for the hopes & wishes that I don't have

arnie's jaws when this is over.

Georgia, I forgot, you're the fainter! (I'll bet they put cushions

out when you go for xrays)

Hey Georgia!

So glad to read you are up and around much faster than last time.

No, I will truly never forget the story of you fainting in xray and

the nurse romantically catching you as you so gracefully fell into

his arms. Ha! That's awesome you see him from time to time and

that he remembers you (now, how could he really forget?).

So great you could tackle tuna and noodles already! Way to go!

Ok, maybe I've been away too long but I don't think I even know what

an allar base cinching is! I'm so sorry! Let me know and I'll tell

you if I had it!

Lastly, a question for you ... what made you decide on the hardware

removal? Did you get everything removed? I've been fortunate that

no nuts and bolts have bothered me thus far bit it does freak me to

know it's all in there if I get thinking about it too long. I know

titanium is safe, but I've never been too comfortable having screws

that close to my eyes!

Continued good and QUICK healing!

Irish!
