You're sounding a lot like me. I am goin...Hey!<br /><br />You're sounding a lot like me. I am going to school in Winnipeg, Canada and it's been unseasonably warm right now, but soon it will drop to -45 for months on end. I'm also trying to get all of my school stuff done so that I have that week-end before my surgery on the 9th to take a breather, relax, eat some good food and take it down a notch after the semester ends. I'm T-27 days today...<br />As for flying, I decided not to do it, but only because I want to spend the time alone recovering and not watching everyone else eat good food. My surgeon said that if I wanted to fly home even for X-Mas it would be fine. <br />Are you having upper or lower/Or both?Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03190704141161519325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519315732652014640.post-47516752120963748292009-11-10T16:20:52.335-08:002009-11-10T16:20:52.335-08:00ooof...the splint sucked. really. just makes it ...ooof...the splint sucked. really. just makes it hard to eat and really self conscious and not to mention talking with it...<br /><br />Throwing up isn't a big deal after...it felt pretty good to me...i had a splint and was rubber banded shut when I threw up and still came out pretty good, I didn't choke or anything. Just think, it's temporary and then you will have an awesome bite! it is worth it! Good luck!Coreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05772955254543216401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519315732652014640.post-37592160566282673862009-11-10T13:10:41.274-08:002009-11-10T13:10:41.274-08:00Wow I could never live where you live! I live in ...Wow I could never live where you live! I live in hot muggy Florida. I hated the splint. I took it out before I was supposed to, it kept me from being able to close my mouth. I totally don't reccommend taking it out on your own though-- I called my doctor after I did it, and he was luckily okay with it. Most people don't seem to have a problem with the splints-- they are more of a nuisance I guess. I think that me not being able to close is not typical but I don't know... Good luck with your surgery! I look forward to see how you're doing!dmichele78https://www.blogger.com/profile/13392610556308479383noreply@blogger.com
