[Guest guest]

Hi Shirley,

It's great to hear from you! I am so sorry about your family

crisis.

I would surely bring that bump up to the OS as soon as possible. It

does sound like it is possibly a screw. My nose has been driving me

crazy because it has been constantly draining since surgery. I never

had problems with a runny nose before surgery. I go through a box of

kleenex every few days.

I had to change my OD appt for November to the end of the month. So

I am not sure if the braces will be coming off by Christmas. I am

thinking now that it will be more than likely either January or

February, but I will keep my hopes up that Santa will take these

braces off by Christmas..(haha)

Anyway, keep me posted on what that bump may be on your nose when you

get it checked out.

Take Care,
