Thanks, Hacklene,

...one more: Do you have any trouble with your ear? My surgeon mentioned the possibility of needing to have a PE tube afterward because the eustachean tube might not function correctly. Perhaps because my surgery would be on the upper jaw instead of the lower, that was not an issue with you.
