Guest guest Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Hello bob, THanks for the prayers, I sure do need them..I had a plate to do the same thing, in the same place after my 3rd surgery..it wasnt as big or noticeable as this one..maybe once all the swelling goes down it will be better..he (surgeon) tried bending it last Friday at my first post op appt..he said to let things heal, watch it and then if needed we will take all plates and screw out at a later date when things are healed...I dont know if I can handle anymore..he says they can do it in the office..but that more swelling. numbness, etc...Im only a little numb now, my nose is a little, and under my eyes, each side of nose/cheek area and upper lip...a little tightness on right side of nose..not too bad..I itch alot, but that tells me Im healing...yes Im a nurse , but this oral stuff is not my speacality, but it will be before its all over I will prob have to have lip augmentation later after braces come off, my lips look smaller in width and small in size now my teeth dont show and mouth is different...that will be later for sure.. take care and I will keep you posted..thanks again for the prayers.

I pray you have a good appt tommorrow, and they don't have to subject you to anymore torture!! .....4 surgerys in that time frame , your poor face probably has'nt had time to recover in between surgerys...being wired sucks, and I feel for ya.... They are saying they don't know why I relapsed , thats what freaks me out ... I should be hearing from the surgeon next week hopefully, they took more measurments and moulds last week for him to go over ?? It sounds like its your top jaw ,I'm assuming....with me they were trying to move my lower jaw back 5 mm.... .....I think I saw in one of your posts, that your are a nurse , both my daughters are nurses ,and one is a Jill also ... Good luck at your appt. tommorrow,let us know how it went? take care of yourself Bob > > Hi.. > > > > Well, I'm new to this site.
