Wow it's just amazing what they can do nowadays!

I'll add you to my links...last time I looked at your blog nothing was there? hmm.

Can I ask why you had to do a 2nd surgery?

Hi Amy -

Two weeks post op I started bleeding big time! I went back in and they did a catscan and saw an aneurysm in the cheek that was bleeding. They had to go in through an incision in the groin through the arteries up into the face to clot it. It was a 8 hour surgery and then I spent 1 night in ICU (because they had to intubate me awake due to how wide my mouth would open) and then 2 nights in a regular floor. It was a nightmare!

Oh I'm so sorry! That must have been tough to go through just after the other surgery. Well, you're back on the right track now! Keep well!!
