4 day postop update on hardware removal & implants

[Guest guest]

Hi Irish, Fiddlesticks, & Cammie & anyone else I already know.

Just wanted to give an update to say that the swelling has gone down

immensely since last night. Still have a lot but it gives me hope

that it won't hang around as long as last time. My two surgeries

are so different. But I guess that's the difference in breaking

bones & not. Last time I had upper & lower broke & this time

nothing at all. I guess that would explain why folks who have upper

& lower usually recover slower than those who only have one jaw

broken. (Duh!) I was lucky last time that things went so well

(except for the swelling, vomiting & sleep deprivation- heh, heh).

I shouldn't even complain about the swelling I'm having. All of us

would of been so happy to only of had that to complain about. Guess

there's something about not knowing how you will look & not

recognizing yourself in a mirror that just gets to us. Can't wait

to see how this turns out. Everyone cross your fingers for me that I

don't end up looking like Arnold Schwarzenegger when the swelling

goes down!
