<p>I think curmudgeon’s daughter had her surgery yesterday. Hoping to hear good news!</p>
<p>Hey, I just posted in the other section about this! Yes, I’m scared to death. Son is having his next week. Why did they put it off so long Curmudgeon? Please tell as much and possible and give updates. I’m worried about my son having this done next week. Tell.
(sorry folks, I haven’t been here in some time.)</p>
<p>Curmudge has checked in several times on Sinner’s Alley in the cafe if you want to check while waiting til he sees this thread. Things went well.</p>
<p>I never read the Sinners Alley thread. Thought I might get in trouble over there! :)</p>
<p>Glad to hear curmudgeon’s D is fine!</p>
<p>Best wishes to all parents and children mentioned in this thread and others who have had surgery. God Bless All.</p>
<p>Thank you. Read it. I think it’s the touht of a 3-4 hr. operation that is the most upsetting to a layman.<br>
Curmudgeon, if you check here, what are you doing about food? Are you doing, like, milkshakes and Ensure or, puree of mashed potato and carrots, like? And how many incisions, one up top or two and any on the bottom?</p>
<p>BHG this will be scattered but I WILL put it together. No food yet, We’ve been home 30 minutes.LOL.Couldn’t even handle pureed jello this a.m…Two cuts each side of lower for 4 cuts. They were ,as you know from before, going to do two top ,two bottom. Did 4 bottom , no top.(instead of french-cutting a green bean and sliding it to or fro, they actually removed bone (but don’t get me lying, I really don’t know). Doc put it off from spring break because he felt the ortho could crank a little more out, and he was right.</p>
<p>IS she in a lot of pain? Doc said it wouldn’t be as bad as wisdom teeth. I really feel for her. Why don’t they keep them in the hospital longer? Doc says 24 hrs. Much swelling? I hear yes. 4 in the bottom, none in the top- oh boy, how long recovery do you think?</p>
