Hello to all: >>First, congratulations Hilary on Jessi's return home!!! i am thrilled for you both!! When my husband returned from desert storm, there were lots of adjustments-but give each other space & time & lots of hugs!!!!!! >>Secpnd, thanks for all the prayers & thoughts as I had my collagen injection surgery yesterday. The procedure went very well, according to my dr; Dr. Michael Vidas of Peoria, Illinois. I woke up in post op, seemingly none the worse for wear: excepting a hoarseness in my voice and a somewhat sore throat form the tube being inserted to help me breathe. I'm take 5 days of steroids to help w/ the swelling & irritation and we expect to know/hear the results in a few days!! Already, family & friends have made comments about the volume and strength of my voice! Praise the Lord!! Last night after the anesthesia wore off, I had a splitting headache from not eating for 15 hrs, bit that was soon remedied! But what i couldn't figure out was why my face hurt so badly!! BFO (blinding flash of the obvious!), i figured that my jaws, ears, lips & teeth hurt because they probably had to hold my already somewhat large mouth open in some way!!! So, today, the aches are gone, & i will keep you posted on my voice as it progresses. >>Last but not least, Don, I know how hard it is to listen to other people trying to tell you what's best for you. In this case, however, I think that it's for the best, dear! we all want you back with us!!! IYQ & I WUV U,2!!! j -- Joan E.
