Guest guest Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Hello all, Back home after surgery on Thursday, November 10th. Upper, lower, and genio. It's only 2 days later, but less pain/trauma than I expected. i took arnica orally for 4 days prior, and i have NO bruising. also, swelling is minimal, except for the lips. Just call me angelina jolie, but droolier. More than anything, I am TIRED. From meat eater, to clear liquids, is quite a transition. Also, i can't use a spoon yet, only a syringe, so tiny doses of liquids at that. I am not wired shut, as my surgeon doesn't believe in that sort of thing. I have titanium pins in my bones, and a surgical splint on top. From what I can see, everything looks GREAT, but it seems it will be a while before I can tear into a steak again. *sniff, sniff* I did enjoy an artichoke, a crispy salad, and filet mignon the night before surgery though, and I will savor those memories for a while. Best of luck to all gearing up for surgery, and feel free to direct any questions my way. Can't promise I'll be 100% awake to answer, but will do my best. most of all, DON'T BE SCARED. it's really not that bad Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
