Hi ....I'm back, and the only emotion I have left is, Numb!!

[Guest guest]

I've been reading and cheering you all on in silence for the past

couple months since I last posted....I had my 2nd surgery may 23 /05 a

result of a total relapse of my 1st surgery march 8/05....mandibular

osteotomy setback 5mm and geino forward 5 to balance...this all a

result of a dental disaster (long story /short) I have a class 3

malloclusion I did not even know what that meant,(I dont even know how

to spell it) I was 45 at the time....My teeth caused me No problems at

all , they were shifting around a bit.....did'nt look that great but

did'nt look that bad either......He said instead of me having my face

rearranged (Surgery) he would create an " end to end " bite , by

crowning all my teeth and having them meet " head on " to compensate for

the class 3 malloclusion.....I did'nt know that that would bring my

good life, to a grinding halt!...and obvious he was'nt aware

either......

Feb 7 , when they booked my surgery for March, My wife and I and

freinds of ours booked a 10 dayer for vegas sept25/05 to celebrate the

end of a nightmare,...I KNEW Already before I saw the ortho yesterday,

my teeth had returned to colliding head on....and I am know wearing an

acrylic splint 24/7 till I hear from the surgeon again..........

Has any one out there had 3 surgerys on the lower, and is that even

possible...Why would it relapse twice???/ I'm full of plates wires and

screws, 2times.. Right Now I don't even know if I should laugh or

cry....done both now, I'm just numb ,like my lip/gums and chin......

thanks for listening
