Buzz 'yawned' tonight & cried out in pain..felt like something 'left loose' under ear at jaw. (scc jaw removed July 2007, replaced with femur bone & titanium plate)....Started to cry, won't let me call anyone. Took pain & sleep meds, now in bed. Maybe just pulled something & it will be okay? No way to contact surgeon at Baptist Hospital at 10 pm on a Saturday night, I'm sure, even if Buzz would agree to let me drive him two hours to hospital.

Anyone else experienced anything like this??? If he wakes up & is still in pain, I'm determined to get him to hospital!
