Steve's right, Denise.  We are here for you.

I saw on another post that you were doing or had done your pre-op testing so I know your surgery is soon.  What is the date, again?

Sorry, I usually remember these things, but with all the recent surgeries - it seems like we had a lot of them - I lost track.

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways

Hey Phyl
Regarding Jan's last post about losing track of things...has there ever been a calendar on this board where ANer's could post their upcoming procedures?  Can it be done?

Good idea, David.

Maybe we could just create a topic under a section like this one (AN Community) and everyone could post their important dates there.

Just a thought,

I like the calendar idea, too.

According to this link: http://www.simplemachines.org/about/features.php, which is from the link at the bottom of this forum that says "Powered by SMF 1.1.4", the software  that runs this forum, there is a Calendar feature. They use birthdays as an example, but why not procedure dates?

Hi Kay:    So glad to hear everything went well ! ! !   

I know it doesn't feel like it now,  but your right side WILL align with the left.    Mine is almost there & I'm 4 months & 10 days out
(but who's counting ?).  I couldn't even tell what were my lips at 1st:  the left side was pulled all the way to the right,  & the right side
of the lips were pulled up. 

I know it's a rough time right now, the saying 'no pain no gain' sure is appropriate with this surgery.   I'm so surprised you're already
online,  geez,  I still wanted to die one day post op (my poor mother heard me 'screaming it',  I think the whole unit heard me !).
But knowing what my outcome is, I'd do it all over again ! !

Always good thoughts,   Nancy

K - Don't worry about the hair thing - Steve is busy knitting us all some fancy new hats - maybe we can bump you to the top of the list to get one.   :D

Nancy - I was just wondering yesterday how you were doing.  Sounds like your recovery is going well!  I'm sure Kay can take comfort in the fact that "this too, shall pass".  I'm glad you're doing well!

Hi Kay:   I had to call my mom to find out ! !    She said "yes', & alot of blood also (sorry for the graphics).   I don't remember most of the
post op the first several days.  (mom's my memory)...

Continue healing my friend,   Nancy

ps:  Lori - I'm doing great,  thanks for asking.   I'm amazed at how well Kay is doing !
