Checking in-People who had surgery March 7, 8, or 9th

[Guest guest]

Hi all, I've heard people posting lately who had surgery within days

of me--

March 8th, and I just wanted to check in to see how you are doing. I

had

upper (with palate expansion), lower, genio and nasal surgery and am

banded shut with a splint. How are you all doing with speech? What

are you

eating these days? Any particular problems/successes? I'm just

wondering if

we are on the same track.

I really thought my speech would be better by now, but i am barely

understandable to my family. I'm can't handle much texture in my

food, so I'm

eating mostlly clear liquids and very liquified soups and smoothies.

I'm finally

sleeping through the night, which is a big deal for me since I had

severe

insomnia for the first week or so. Other than that, my only major

complaint is

the fuzz growing on my teeth inside my mouth and the constant

tingling in my

face, especially my chin. Ice helps a bit, but it's hard to keep it

going all day.

Please let me know how you all are doing! Happy 2 week anniversary.
