Re: I thought I was done, but now it's more than just my jaw

[Guest guest]

Holy cow Jane! You poor thing! Talk about " unbelievable " genetics.

Thank God you will be alright. Perhaps now you will recover 100% from

all surgeries. Take care of yourself and keep us posted.

Oh my gosh, Jane.

I hope your recovery is speedy and complication-free.

I know at least two extremely fit, athletic people who've had

unexpected heart attacks (heredity and all), and I'm sure you can

imagine what a nasty shock that must have been. So I'm very happy

for you that it was caught in time.

Best wishes,

Rhonda

Oh my goodness. What a scare! I am so glad that you are ok and I

will be listening for an update. Get your rest. You'll get back to

the gym eventually...Sincerely, Joan

Hi Jane,

I'm so sorry that you had to go through all of that. How scary. It

makes my problems seem so minimal.

I hope your recovery goes well. You've been through so much already.

Holy cow, Jane! You have really had your share of troubles here. How

fortunate that you had surgery before something happened. That's very

frightening to be so close to a heart attack.

I've got my fingers crossed for a quick recovery for you.

Best wishes,

Jane,

Wow! I am so happy they caught it early! Sorry to hear that you will have to go

to the hospital yet again for another type of surgery. By the end of this

ordeal you will never want to go to a hospital again...lol How is your jaw

doing? Mine is healing just fine I am on week 11 now and I have my jaw

exercises, but that is about all.
