Guest guest Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Hi Patty, I am sure you have already left for your surgery today, but I wanted to let you know that you have good wishes for a great surgery coming your way. I hope your recovery is smooth and uneventful, and that your results are fabulous! I hope you post post op as you feel able. Good luck Patty!

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Another 6 months? haha.. That what my ortho said -- that was 10 months ago, and he's telling me I still have another 8 months to go. But I'm all paid up -- it's just the annoyance of having all this metal in my mouth!!!! > I know I haven't been very active on this chatboard, since I only > discovered it 2 weeks ago.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Hope that the surgery goes well and that they figure out what's going on. What will they be doing if there is a blockage? Big hugs and let us know how you are when you can. & Grace > > Grant will be having a shunt revision this afternoon.
