Re: 8 MONTHS POSTOP AND STILL CONCERNED ABOUT CHIN BEING HIT

[Guest guest]

Whoa! again... Well, as a not-so-little old lady in tennis shoes, I

don't worry about soccer hits... tee-hee!

As for kissing. Ummm -- you need strong jaws for that??? Well, I like

variety in smooches as much as the next person, but I've had no

trouble at all kissing " properly, " with or without strong jaws. I

think your sweetie is unlikely to dislodge anything with a smooch.

Probably with other, um, emotional oral antics, as well.

Just my view, though. I haven't, as they say, pushed it to the max.

And heaven knows, neither Miss Manners nor I recommends taking left

hooks to the jaw, pre or post op.

i had upper and genio a little over 3 months ago. i'm

not paranoid about my chin being hit at all. 2 weeks

ago a group of my friends and i went on a snowboarding

trip. i ran into this pretty big guy on one of the

hills. i fell on my face and his legs flipped out from

under him and he landed right on the back of my head

smashing the left side of my face into the ground. my

immediate reaction was to touch my upper jaw and see

if it was just hanging there. nothing happened besides

scrapes on my left cheek and chin and a bloody nose. i

was up and snowboarding the rest of the week. i saw my

os as soon as i got back. he said that if my bones

were going to break they would have broken before

surgery. at 3 months your bones are completely healed

and they are as strong as they were plus extra

reinforcement from the screws!

Also for those of you gius who had any relapss, what

Also how long was it for you post op folks, that you

could start

kissing properly at without thinking whether or not

your jaw would

be strong enough??
