Re: rough time
Have you given some thought to writing some of your concerns down? Even if you don't take them with you getting them out might help. But a list if questions to take with you might help.

Re: rough time
im sort of regretting getting them taken out but I also know that if I didn't it might've gotten worse esp with the frequency of the infections too. Its been almost 6 weeks and its still limiting, embarrassing and painful. im really hoping she has some options there, she is suppose to be one of the really good ones in the public system.
ive got a list of my concerns but if I forget to take it I can remember them. im not to sure ive got any questions as yet, mostly just what sort of treatments are available and talk to them about what they entails etc. @Sans911

Re: rough time
Your situationis much like mine although my pain has decreased (except for my skin graft site). So I totally get the feelings of uncertainty, limitations and discomforts. Although yours is more visible and impacting your diet and nutrition. So it's important to stress to your surgeon the impact it's having on you in all these ways. If you don't tell them, they may not be able to offer other options or treatments. You have to be your own advocate @outlander. Be strong. I know you can. 💕💕💕💕

Re: rough time
When I seen her a few weeks ago she seemed to listen but said to give it a few weeks just to see If it would correct itself. it really is having an impact not just physically but mentally too. its made me so self conscious, even more then I was because because half of my face is affected and because my once good speech unless I was super nervous has made it harder for others to understand what ive said. sometimes takes me a few goes to be able to say a simple word to an extent they can understand it.
im hoping the lumps and bumps that keep appearing aren't going to have to be opened and drained either. and one tooth now has a sharp piece right next to it, not sure if maybe its a piece they've missed or if its the other tooth that has moved and made that sharp piece come through the to gumline. just seems to be one thing after the other.
I know you get it as your post op experience hasn't been very easy at all and has/is affecting you in many ways too.
