Surgery date set to Jan. 5th!! and a few questions.

[Guest guest]

I'm getting my lower jaw moved back.

Originally it was supposed to be in December. But the OR wasn't

available until Jan. 5th. I'm excited because it's finally happened.

I started the process 10th grade and now I'm a sophmore in college.

I have a few questions.

How many of you were wired shut? My surgeon told me I had the option

of wired shut and the other one was bolted. He recommended wired, and

since he knows better than I, I agreed. I'm going to be wired 6-8

weeks depending on how good I heal. How is it like to be wired shut?

I'm a really active person that likes to talk. :-) I'll probably need

a notebook to communicate, right?

My mother and I are planning to stock up on protein shakes and such

and we plan on blending vegetables and things. What other things

should I do?

Any comments would be really helpful.

Thanks!

Jo
