Guest guest Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 I saw my ortho for the first time since my upper/lower/genio surgery and had my second post-surgical visit w/my OS yesterday. Everything looks great according to both docs. My elastics were reconfigured, and I can expect new reconfigurations based on how I'm healing for the next 2-3 weeks. I'm getting rather bored of the liquid diet, but I'm continuing to hang in there. I think by next week I can graduate to foods that can be eaten out of a spoon. The swelling is still very noticeable, and I have some bruising on one side and under my chin, but it's continuing to dwindle. I'm still struggling to breathe at night, and my nose is probably the part of my body that is still suffering the most. For the most part, I am in good spirits and will enjoy the rest of my week off from work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 , Did your docter give you a decongsetion and some nose spray? I could not breathe at all out of my nose until he gave me those two things. Now I can breathe so much better and I am only two days post op. > > I saw my ortho for the first time since my upper/lower/genio surgery > and had my second post-surgical visit w/my OS yesterday. > > Everything looks great according to both docs.
