Hi ,

There's a lot worse in life than being banded shut. I just try not

to complain and keep moving forward. Yes, it is a possibility that

the burning is from the nerves coming back. I would also expect I am

going to feel some pain because my OS stated right now he is working

on moving the jaw a slight bit more and not the teeth. He said the

jaw bones are still soft from the surgery which is allowing him to do

this. Weird huh? I have soft jaw bones..(haha)

Swelling is almost completely gone..YAHOOO! I am going to have to

ask the surgeon about the split under the lip since it is still there

and the swelling is nearly gone. You can kind of see the lip hanging

down a little bit from the split. It is probably only noticeable to

me.

Anyway, keep up the good work on your recovery! I will eventually

get a tune up on this caboose and catch up with my June buddies..

(haha)
