Guest guest Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Hi Irene, That is fabulous that you got your splint out!!! I'm so jealous of you!!! Talking must be so much easier now. That is great that you're ahead of schedule on healing up AND you are now starting on more solid food.... Congratulations! I hope I am right behind you. This Weds will be two weeks for me. I too am wondering how much ortho week I still need- I hope not a lot! Let us know what your ortho says! Cheers!
