Yep, I'm a just 4 days earlier. Sounds like we both had two

cancellations. I had to cancel my Dec date because of severe

back/leg pain (had to have nerve block), rescheduled again and back

flared up again. After about 4 mos. PT, I'm better. Just want to

get it over with before some other body part gives me a problem .

At my age (62) the sooner is better. I have severe sleep apnea (not

overweight), which is worse since they pulled lower teeth and pulled

things back (done to give them more space to move the jaws). I'm

having Lefort I, BSSO, geniotubercle advancement, and

turbinectomies. Just hope I can breath afterwards with them working

on all of those parts. The lower jaw will be moved about 13 mm.

This is to open airway. My bite now is so off now I can hardly chew

or bite good. What type of surgery are you having?

Your right it's probably better they moved to 23rd as that will give

about two weeks to recuperate from this trip. At least they're not

putting hooks in until the day before the surgery, same day as the

history and physical.

I've actually had my suitcase ready since November. I've tried to

be as prepared as I can for the surgery. Hopefully I will

recuperate as fast as I have from other surgeries - mastectomy and

tram flap reconstruction. Though I'm older now, so hope it all goes

well.

I'll keep everyone posted as things progress.
