Hey it's kelly,

Good to here from you hope everthing is going as well as expected. I

am now 5 days post op and my swelling is starting to go down

although my right side of my face swelled more than my left side.

My cheeks are numb and my top lip is very swollen, so it is very

hard for me to smile, but I am working on that and I know it takes

time.

Keep me posted on how things are going for the nov. surgery people

and everyone else out there going through this wonderful experience.

Well it will be wonderful once it is all said and done.

Keep a good attitude because it really helps.
