Hi everyone! I made it to the other side! I am feeling pretty good, they told my mom and husband that they advanced my lower 18 mm, not sure about the upper.
The surgery lasted around 4 hours 40 minutes, I have my nose tube in still because they are worried about blood in my stomach. I am so thirsty, though, and I don't think I'll get anything to dink until the nose tube comes out. Pain is pretty good .. I've hit my pain clicker once so far (morphine drip). Everyone here has been so nice. The anesthesiologist told me before surgery that it was going to fell like someone drove a truck up my nose. Nice, huh?
I'll post some pics later, swelling is there but actually better than I expected. Dr. P apparantly said I was one of his more difficult cases, not because my mouth was so small but because my tissue was so tight.
Thanks, everyone, for thinking about me. So far, it's gone better than expected. The best news? 2 different nusrses asked why I wasn't going to the pedriatric until ... they thoght I was under 19!! Not to bad for a 34 year old :)
