Y'all thought I was gonna put post-surgical pictures up, dincha? NOT A CHANCE IN HE##, 'til I'm ~ 6 weeks post-op - there's too much swelling & bruising of the lower areas of my face right now - actually, bruising not so much, but swelling & bandanges that have to remain 'til tomorrow ................. for those not looped in, on Monday, I had a UPPP {uvalo-palato-pharyngoplasty} & genioglossus advancement - the advancement was to alleviate my TMJ, but when I went to the oral surgeon back in August {!!!}, HE was concerned because my airway was 1/3 the diameter it should be, so he sent me to an ENT, who agreed that a UPPP was necessary - problem was, our insurance wanted me to do a trial of a C-PAP - NOT an option {I've not always been real smart in my relationships, prior to the FodGuy - I was involved with a man who found it hilarious to cover my mouth & nose while I was sleeping, then laugh uproariously when I'd awaken in a panic, choking} - so, the docs had to have a peer-to-peer consultation with the insurance's docs, to justify UPPP surgery vs. C-PAP ......................... so, anyhoo, surgery went well {both surgeons expressed their pleasure at my response/recovery}, though I'm STILL not certain sure I didn't sound off like a drunken sailor when I was coming out of the anesthesia - per our progeny & the FodGuy, the cuss words I heard me saying weren't audible to them .................... ;-)
