Hi Ash,

I do remember! Glad all seems to be going well for you. And in

time to be able to even eat that cake for your birthday too! lol

Do you have any other big milestones coming up related to your

surgery? Do you still see your OD or OS for followup? Good to hear

from you and Happy Birthday!

Hugs,

Fran

Thanks for the well wishes!

I will see my orthodontist until I get my braces off, which should be

around April.

My surgeon said I don't have to go back and see him until I get the

braces off, so..yay! It was beginning to feel like his office was my

second home, haha!

Nope, I don't really have any other surgery milestones. It's just

that every Saturday I get all excited that I'm another extra week

post-op. I'm silly.

Hi Ashlee! 12 weeks - your surgery must seem to long ago! I'm glad

you're doing well - happy birthday too! I've been doing lots of

reading on the numb lip & chin, and there seems to be a 1-3 month

recover on minor nerve exposure and then the 3-12 month recovery on

nerves that may have been exposed longer. So....there's still lots

of time for your lip & chin - mine are numb too so I find reading up

on it helps ease my anxieties about it a little bit.
