BETH! Re: upper jaw surgery (to Eileen)

[Guest guest]

Thanks, Beth. I am already more " up " since I've been able to breathe

pretty well today. I've heard that after 2 1/2 weeks, most of the

swelling goes down. I bet you'll be feeling a lot better next week.

This support group is so awesome. I am so glad I knew what to expect,

even though it has been harder than I thought. My doctor told me to

expect swelling, but he didn't say of gargantuan proprtions!

I think I need to go to bed! 9:00! Talk to you soon!

Eileen :-)
