Guest guest Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Thanks a bunch , I have been following your long road of years of waiting. I am thinking to jump on board for genio in about 3 weeks so I am nervous and eager to learn from your experiences. I hope you are recovering well and please post how you are handling it. Is it as bad as advertised, other than bruising? What are the first impressions? I am only allowing the doctor to move me 5 mm since I dont want to risk the nerve stretching too much. Are you feeling too numb now? You think the numbness is tolerable? Take care of yourself and write when you feel better. > > Of course it's all swollen right now, but I am quite certain that my > 28 year quest to have a normal profile has been concluded.
