Re: Home from the hospital again

[Guest guest]

Welcome back Michele! SO glad to see you're already up and about and

it sounds like your in less pain, or at least in as little pain as you

can be after a second surgery, new hardware and your mouth wired shut.

Well I'm glad that I'm not getting the dissolvable screws, I'd

actually read about them and thought that they would be a good idea

but after hearing about your story I'm not so sure.

Anyway, get some good rest and try to get as many liquids as possible

ino you. Keep us posted on your progress. Here's to hoping that the

second time around is a lot easier.

Michele,

I'm glad that your second surgery went better than the first. I'm

wired shut, too. It's no picnic - but is becoming more and more

tolerable. Take it one day at a time and visit the group when you

can. I know it has helped me, immensely!

All the best,

Carol

Hi Michele,

I am glad all went well the second time around. I am sure it is

frustrating, but at least you are on the other side of that now. Glad

to see you feeling well enough to post anyway. Take it easy, and glad

you are back!

Hugs,

Fran

Hi Fran,

Thanks, for the hugs. Your so right I am very glad that it's over and

I can now just work on getting better. I'm resting today my husband

and son are both at work today so I'm just laying around resting and

enjoying the quite.

I am having a haard time keep track of who is at what stage. Have you

had Surgery?

have a nice day

Hi Michele,

I am at a very early stage of this process. I have had three OD

consults and one with Dr West in Seattle for the surgery. I am in

process of getting insurance approval, then proceeding with the

braces.

It would be great to have a fixed signature for each member to use

so it is easier to keep track of our procedure status. One of the

other boards I am a member of has that, and it is fantastic. You

can include your surgery info, dates, procedures you are having,

your geographical location, physician used etc etc. It would be

great for this site as the members are literally from all over the

world. Does anyone reading this know how to set a signature like

this up?

I am in the same situation today. DH and my sons are both working,

and so I get to have some quality time with the my computer! lol

Keep us posted as you progress. Anyway, I am glad you are home and

doing better. Will watch for your posts as you progress too.
