Hubby...Re: here 4 days post op

[Guest guest]

Carole anne,

I am sorry to here about your extented stay in the hospital. I hope

all is going better. I have read some of your posts and I know you

are thinking it is really hard and you may not be progressing like

the " norm " , but who's to say who's normal. I have had an ok

experience so far from this surgery, but my knee surgery I had

earlier this year is still not healed, so I can understand the

fustration of the Dr.'s telling you you'e behind the curve and

things need to step up, but when you are in pain how do you do

that? I think most things will heal with time, but as for range of

motion I do know from my knee experience that was very important, so

I imagine it is probable just as important for the jaw. So hang in

there.
