περὶ τοῦτῳ βιβλίῳ: regarding this story
χαλεπὰ τὰ καλά. άλλὰ θάρρει, oὐδέποτε μαθήσεται στενάζειν μὴ μελετῶν.

Noble things are harsh. But take heart; one does not learn to lament without study.

  • 13:41 Surgery was completed successfully! I'm ecstatic and recovering well. There's a bit of a pain management issue, but we're figuring it out. #
  • 13:44 Incredible gratitude to @shoutingboy, @karenbynight and @tutordennis, who are utterly amazing. And that's not just the pain meds talking. :) #

So. Tomorrow, we sally forth to Oakland Kaiser, where I have a date with bone saws and destiny. We met with my new surgeon again on Monday, and Dr. P― is confident that this time the procedure (bilateral sagittal split osteotomy, or BSSO) will be successful (almost too confident, but then, he is a rockstar in his field; I have high hopes that he'll add the bionic upgrades I've drawn up).

Below is my latest cephalometric radiograph. When compared with the one from June 2008, you can see that the bone graft in my chin has filled in nicely. Dr. P― does BSSOs a bit differently from my last surgeon; I'll have snazzy titanium plates screwed to my mandible, and my jaw will be wired closed with a splint between my teeth for ten days. Mmm, broth.

Many thanks for all the well-wishes. [info]tutordennis and [info]shoutingboy will be with me at the hospital, and they have friends and family scheduled for visits when I return home. [info]tutordennis will also be Twittering from my phone with tomorrow's post-surgery update. I'm in good spirits, and anticipate a fairly smooth recovery. I'll be able to return to work in four weeks, and will have the brackets removed in six months (scheduled for mid-July). Catch you on the flip side!

Nota Bene: All of my entries tagged 'jaw' can be found here.
