Dee/Re: Whose photo album would represent a Lafort?

[Guest guest]

Good Morning Dee,

You know I think about it now and the hospital never did keep ice

packs on me while I was there. I only had one ice pack and that was

the one that I had when I woke up. I was so out of it to even think

to ask for another one. So maybe that had something to do with it.

Yes that breathing was not fun the first week. My OS had me doing

breathing exercises the first 2 weeks. I had to take a deep breath

in & hold for a few seconds and release. I would do this many times

throughout the day. This helped to expand the lungs.

I was originally supposed to have the SARPE & then the Lefort 3-

piece. I am now wondering if this is what should of been done

because I have been told that my upper palate was not widened during

this past surgery and I still have a crossbite.

I never did get creative with the blender. It has only been used for

smoothies and shakes. I have been eating mashed potatoes, rice

dishes, soup, jello, yogurt, etc...Although I am getting tired of all

of these and may just begin to experiment with the blender.

Have a Great Day,
