Subject: I am back from my Upper and lower

jaw surgery

Hello Gang. Well I just came back form the hospital today 2 days

post op. Well the Swelling is quite invasive and my nose is just a

little stuffy. I am splinted closed and I didn't have to much

numbness so I can feel pain alot more. In the hospital they kept me

on morphine which worked great untill I came home and now I am using

lortab which makes me so darn sleepyee. Anyway I don't feel like

posting to much due to not feeling to well.. I hope my other Surgery

bud is doing ok (Irene)

Take care and that you all for the warmest wiches you all gave me on

Wednesday.

Hi Dennis,

I have been thinking how your surgery was going these couple of days.

It's good to see you back here again. My stomach was quite upset in the

hospital after the surgery. So, I had 2 morphine shots there to settle

it down. Fortunately, it was upset anymore after going home. Thank God.

Do u think the morphine shot hurts the hip? I think it hurt me quite a

bit on my hip.

My chin is quite numb...and in fact, i don't have much pain at all

after the surgery. My mouth is bounded by 3 elastics on each side....so

it 's hard for me to eat/talk. I can barely drink. Today, I feel

better, so I talk a bit more, I eat tofu dessert and congee...very easy

to swallow thingy...u know. When I don't have enough food intake, I

feel weak and shaky. It is a very shitty feeling.

Anyways, have a good rest, Dennis.

HI Dennis,

It must feel better to be home, but drowsy is no fun. Get lots of

rest and post when you feel up to it. We are just glad to see you are

home and well. Glad everything went well too. We can wait for the

details.

Hugs,

Fran

Hi Dennis,

Morphine can work wonders!

Make sure you get enough rest it always helps!

I have been thinking about you and was wondering how you were doing.

Hi Fran:) Well day three is going a little better this morning. I

was just elling how the oral meds are enough to gag a elephant.

What really is the worst is the anti biotic meds. They are the

worst. I have found out that chacing with a little coffee helps. So

Fran when do you get your mouth done?

Hi dennis.

Congratulations on making it to the other side so to speak. Hang in

there it does get better, though right now it may seem pretty ruff.

Just remember to keep ontop of your meds and sleep!

Best wishes

Kind regards

Hi Dennis,

Glad you are feeling better today. Good tip about the anitbiotics

too. I can imagine how awful that is! UGH!

I am at the very beginning stages of this process. I have my

braces, but am looking at 2 years in them prior to surgery. I have

had other surgery, so am not as worried about the actual surgery as

I am the recovery period if that makes sense. Holding good thoughts

for you during yours!!

Great to see you up and about!

Hugs,

Fran

Hi Diane. Thanks for the big welcome back. This is day 4 for me and

this isn't to bad considering everything. It does get somewhat

painfull in the night due to the fact that I have hardly any numbness.

The swelling goes down a little each day. Anyway have a good day

Diane.
