Re: Suggestions for Congestion

November 8, 2004

Matilda,

I know it maybe to soon to tell, but how did everything go with Dr.

Widner? I was in his office last week and asked his girls how you

were doing and they said you were doing good. How many days did you

spend in the hospital? After doing my models, Dr. Widner said I may

need to do upper/lower and genio. I am not prepared for that since

I was thinkin only upper and genio. He said he would know more

after he did the model surgery. That is interesting that you are

wired shut, I asked Dr. Widner if I would be wire and he said no

only banded. Sorry to hear you are so congested I am not looking

forward to those days. Hope things get better soon.
