Why I have been gone - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

browneyes106 · 05-09-2010, 12:44 AM

Hey everyone. Many of you may noticed that I have been gone for awhile. Well I have encountered a few health problems. I suffer from bipolar disorder which caused me to have a bad experience sometime back. I was also diagonsed with sleep apnea sometime back which I have been learning to deal with. I'm having orthognathic surgery next Friday. I have been wearing braces for the past two years and the surgery will help correct several jaw problems. I will be spending 2-3 days in the hospital. My jaws will be wired shut for at least 4 weeks. I will likely be having my tonsils, adeniods and uvula removed at some point Due to combination of my physical and mental health problems I will be moving back in with my parents for awhile.

I hope things go better for you as well as everyone on here.

BTW-I'll be here intermittently...until my brother gets internet hook-up at my apartment.

Welcome back!! God bless you - I hope you'll be OK!!!

OH Nuts! · 05-09-2010, 05:09 PM

Missed you and sorry you've been gone. Hope everything works out - I'm rooting (and praying) for you!

Welcome back, browneyes!

P.S. Do you have TMJ? I have that but have managed to avoid having surgery.

At any rate, good luck with all you've been going through.

Yes, we've sure missed you.

I hope your conditions are corrected. Some R&R at your parent's home will surely be a good thing. Get ready to lose weight with your jaws wired shut for four weeks. I'm sure you have a plan; but please be sure to add protein and vitamin shakes to your diet. You'll need to keep your nutrition up in order to have a successful recovery. Good luck and Godspeed.

It's good to hear from you browneyes! I'm sorry for all the problems your going through with your health. I'll keep you in my prayers.

browneyes106 · 05-10-2010, 12:19 AM

Thank you everyone for thoughts and prayers. It is possible that I might have surgery on Thursday afternoon. But I will get final word on that tomorrow. I don't have TMJ but have a bad underbite and a problems with my top jaw.

browneyes106 · 05-10-2010, 11:12 AM

I just talked to the surgeons and my surgery was moved up to Thursday morning. They said I might be able to go home after spending a night in the hospital it depends on well I do after the surgery. They are also going to put me on a nasogastric tube for four weeks so I can eat. I'm going to be homebound most of the time.

browneyes106 · 05-12-2010, 05:22 PM

I spent today preparing to check into the hospital tomorrow. I have to be at the hospital at 5 am for pre-op. My surgery is schuleded to start between 7 to 8 am. It will last 5-6 hours. I went to my final pre-op appointment this morning they gave several button front pajama tops, two jaw bras, syringes for water and other supplies for my home care. I might be released on Friday afternoon. but it depends on how well I do when I get out of surgery. They are requrining that I spend at least 18 hours post surgery on oxygen and with ECG monitors on my chest.

Marvo301 · 05-12-2010, 05:37 PM

I hope all goes well for you and that your operation is a success and that your recovery goes well. i will continue to pray for you.
