The Night Before...

Hey all! Today was a very long day.  I spent the day with the surgeon going over every single detail that is involved.  They took more impressions and x-rays and did some other things that I had no clue what they were doing.  Also went to the hospital to have blood drawn and all that fun stuff.  I am very pleased with the surgeon and his staff.  The hospital staff is awesome too.  He told me exactly what he would do during the procedure and what to expect each day after surgery.  I knew that he was going to have to break both jaws, but I just learned today that he is also going to widen the roof of my mouth.  To do that, he will have to go in above the roof and cut the bone under my nasal cavity. Ouch! It's going to be a brutal surgery, but I am at peace about the whole thing.  Recovery is not going to be a breeze, but he did say that after the 1st week, I would be able to tell the improvement of each day.  My head is going to look like a pumpkin and I'll have to re-train the muscles in my face and mouth to open and close and work with my new bite. I have to be there at 5:30 am and surgery will be around 7:30 am.  Please keep me in your prayers as I face this giant in my life.  I know it will be worth it.  Love you all and thanks for the support!
