Re: - you have surgery buddies

July 30, 2005

Hey there,

Yes I had upper and lower jaw. Surgery went well. They finished

in 3.5 hours and it was estimated to be 4-6. Everythings going great

thus far. Except I had some dizzyness Thursday and nearly passed out

in the shower. Had to postpone one of my post op OS appts til Friday.

Anyway, went back to see the OS Friday and he is just ecstatic about

my progress. I'm supposed to see him twice the first two weeks after

surgery but he said he only needed to see me once next week! I go to

see my OD Monday for xrays and stuff. My OS called my OD right after

surgery and told him he couldn't wait for him to see me. It's quite

amusing. Anyway, I'm completely wired shut until at least August 12.

It's supposed to be 4-6 weeks but I start school August 18 in North

Carolina and so he's taking them off probably at 3 weeks. My surgery

was originally supposed to have been June 10th so I would've had

everything behind me before I started school but alas, my teeth

weren't where they needed to be. I'm having some issues with finding

things to drink. Fruit pulp and seeds get stuck and block up the

passageways between my teeth so I have to like brush alot. My OS said

eating is an all day process. My swelling is probably down to where

it may stay for a while. I'm going to try to get some pictures up

soon. Anyway, I'll stop rambling on now. --
