Hi thanx for the posts...

The Doc there says I have an ear infection...I am stuffed up as well

but it is not in my throat or chest,...He is bomarding it with a

double dose of anti biotics every 4 hrs and told me to go home to

bed....I really can't believe this is happening...(sp)Coincidentally

this Drs. Daughter just had her jaw done a month ago...so he new 1st

hand all about it....he said that you dont want to add an infection

to your misery especially in the 1st week post-op....Iv'e got 3 days

to kick this ,then ready or not here i come.....

How are you feeling 10 days later , I have got a job(Canada Post))

where I walk up to 15 miles a day, up and down stairs all day long ,I

was thinkin 3 weeks off work....does that sound like to much?

Well, back to bed...

Take Care & Happy Healing
