Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 309 | went in to have the prosthetic (obturator? i still can't figure out how they say or spell that thing lol) refitted today because it was killing me ... this had me nervous a bit because it had changed soooo much in there .,.. but when he removed it to resize it, he did an exam and said it looks beautiful in there and has healed sooooo well it is like 1/2 the size it was last time and the prosthetic was holding it open more than it wanted to be due to the healing. he said he saw nothing that looked troublesome or suspicious so this made me feel very relieved. just wanted to share my happy day report .. which we all enjoy getting  i pray we all continue to receive more and more of these ... i pray for you all daily and ask that you remember me in your prayers as well Blessings to you all.
