Im glad you were on top of this and got in to see a doc today (even though it wasnt your regular surgeon). If you dont get an email response, give them a call tomorrow. Are you able to speak clearly enough to make phone calls? If not have someone make the call for you. You may need to get rechecked again. I wonder whats going on that the stitches keep popping??? Maybe from swelling?

Keep up the great job of paying close attention to your mouth after the surgery. Im very glad you are such an excellent advocate for yourself.



PS... Im very sorry it took me so long to respond! I read every single post and normally check in every couple hours thruout the day. Ive sent you a private message (PM). Take a look next to the My Stuff tab and click on the tiny flashing envelope.
