Guest guest Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 Hi . My surgery was on a Thursday afternoon and I was sent home the next day. The only test was to make sure I could feed myself, relieve myself and take medication. I called it being able to eat, pee and do drugs. I have a splint in as well. If I'm not going to be able to speak for weeks, it's news to me and can create some significant problems with my work. We'll see how super patient people can be. It's been exactly a week and I slept through the night for the first time last night. I can also now get the baby toothbrush in on both sides of my mouth. I can also see my teeth -- another new development. On Monday, they put on looser bands. I guess it's wait and see! Thanks for the info. Fran > > Hi all.
