Surgery next week
16 years ago
*glances this way and that*
Listen, people, try and keep it under your collective hats, but I'm gonna have jaw surgery next week. It starts at 5:30-ish AM, PST, and goes for about an hour. However, I'm gonna be spending the following week (and a few after that, I'm sure) recovering from the surgery.
So, what's wrong? Well, my mandible (the part of your jaw that attaches to your head (aka, lower jaw)) formed a bit weird, you see. It turns out, the left side of the mandible actually extends a little bit farther forward than the right. I have an under bite to begin with, but the jaw's also off-center, so that will be corrected as well.
The most serious thing that could happen during this surgery is that there is a 1%-2% chance that I'll suffer from permanent numbness in my jaw. I dunno what that would translate to, but it can't be good. The good news is that the REALLY serious stuff is so low, it barely even registers on the radar. So no, I won't be dead, but I'll be out of commission for a little bit.
Just kinda wanted to give you guys a bit of a heads-up is all.
