Re: Back from surgery - to (Caboose)

[Guest guest]

Good morning,

I'm glad your surgery went well even though you look like you've

been beat up. I never had hardware removed completely but I did have

the distractors taken out and replaced with plates. Initially I had

alot of pain and swelling also but it went away much quicker than

the original surgery. I was back to work in a week and the swelling

went away pretty quickly. I hope your recovery is as quick and you

get all this behind you now. Did he fix your lip while he was in

there?

Wishing you a quick and smooth recovery.

Hugs,
