Bob,

You have been in my thoughts and I can just imagine

your frustration. I am 10 days post op and though

everyone tells me I'm doing great, I am still rather

swollen, have a lot of tension around my nose and

lips. But when you find out more information, please

update us, I am very interested to learn how the

relaps can happen. It seems impossible that the jaw

would be able to move with all the hardware but it has

been proven repeatedly. I hope your second time

around is it once and for all!
