Date: Mon, 11 Mar 2002 04:51:01 -0800 Subject: Your Jaw Surgery ---------------------------------------- Hi, you don' t know me, but I am about to go into jaw surgery. To be exact March the 13th. I am only getting the lower jaw, and two wisdom teeth pulled. I need a mandibular advancement about 5mm-6mm on the lower jaw. I have to say I am extremely nervous. Back the the reason I wrote, I wanted to thank you for posting your experience on the web for those like me, to find. Nothing can prepare me totally for it, but seeing how the recovery process works helps. Thank you for being so thorough, and graphic. Thanks again,
Here is a description of the surgery.

Of course I also need to thank The Office of Computing Services, who as many of you know, assigned me a really nice laptop to use before the Winter '98 holidays, an IBM ThinkPad 770ED with 64M of RAM, a 6G HD and a 14.1" TFT display with DVD ROM and audio.
I also need to thank our house guest, Kathy Ropers, who has had to put up with just as much balogna as Becky since I've been home, slurping, burping, etc. through my recovery.
Last, but certainly not least, I need to thank Becky who has continually supported me through the entire event (although she sometimes got more anxious about things than I did), and who went against her common sense and took as many pictures as she did. She's done a great job!
Thanks to all!!!
