Guest guest Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Hello Dee...I'm from Skowhegan also! You probably know my father, he owns and runs LaCasse Shoe Repair on Water Street. Anyway, I have heard of the surgeon you've gone to, but I've never actually had a consultation with her. However, if and/or when you do check this site again...please let me know how the surgery went. I can't remember exactly what procedure you're having done, but I'd be great to hear from someone who's just gone through this ordeal. Take care of yourself and hope to hear from you soon. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 What a small world ! I have been to LaCasse before. I grew up in North Anson and built a house here in Skowhegan in 2000. Well, about the surgery, it went great! Dr. Winne was awesome. I had a Leforte 1 Osteotomy (upper jaw) and it lasted about 3 hours. They released me yesterday in time to make a 3:00 pm follow up at her office in Augusta. I was a little weak, because eating is difficult, but I'm getting better. I'm not in any pain, but am having difficulty breathing. She said that is normal, because they put tubes down your nostrils during surgery. It's like having a cold, but since I can't open my mouth to breath it's a little scary. Sleeping in an a/c'd room helped a lot. Last night (first night home) I slept from 9:30 to 3:30 only waking up once. I thought that was great. When are you looking to get your surgery done? I would be happy to answer any other questions that you have. We could even get together if you want. I took a lot of pictures after the surgery I hope to post them soon. Sorry so short, but I'm getting a little tired now. > Hello Dee...I'm from Skowhegan also! You probably know my father, he > owns and runs LaCasse Shoe Repair on Water Street.
