Guest guest Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Mark - Congratulations! - you made it thru your surgery and it sounds like it went smoothly. I bet you are relieved to be done with that; now it's on to the recovery segment. Take care of yourself and get lots of rest. Pleez post the details of your surgery when you are feeling stronger - I'm going thru the same procedures next summer and would love to hear about your experiences. I'm sending warm healing thoughts your way. ~~~~ Diane (Idaho) > Hello everyone! > > I got back from surgery yesterday, but I was too out of it to > function right.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Hello everyone, It is true that I'm relieved that the surgery is over (conducted on 9/29/05) and now I'm focusing on recovery. The only pains I have are from my chin. There's some major discomfort because of the tension that binds my upper and lower teeth and I usually experience that when trying to lay down and rest. What medications am I taking? Penicillin to prevent infection, Nasonex and a saline spray to clear up my sinuses, Dimetapp to ease congestion and an oral rinse to cleanse my mouth. I also brush my teeth five times a day, as difficult as it may be. Notice that I am taking no pain medications. What do I drink? Ensure, Gatorade, water and chicken broth for now. I don't feel confident enough yet to have anything with consistency. Breathing isn't easy enough that I can do it. I still can't talk effectively because I'm swollen and I can hardly get air through my teeth. I tried to read a book aloud yesterday and it wasn't working because froth would just bubble out of my lips. I also experienced a sharp pain for a split second on the right side of my chin. All in all, it's not complete hell. I can still read my books, watch T.V. and work on the computer. I have a follow-up appointment with my doctor on Thursday and I hope he has good things to say. (I also hope this swelling goes down considerably so I won't frighten too many children and I can talk!)
