Re: wafer splint........ Hi rymi48..........

Let me Just say ,it really does'nt matter much, what it is, or what it

looks like,...its not pretty or a whole lot of fun, but if you make it

past the 1st week post-op ,your body is equipped to adapt and deal with

it somehow., ... I am 6 days post op for the 2nd time since March.!...

First time no splint ,...Splinted and banded 2nd time around......With

the splint, so far it is almost impossible to verbally communicate, and

much tougher to get norished,....but once again after about day 5 or 6

you start coping with things a little better,...Pretty much because

you have no other choice...Just go with the flow....not much else you

can do........

take care
