I'm sorry honey I
don't know what any of that means. I'm
having a condylectomy and total tmj
replacement, I think
Let me do some research...
I'll be back.

OMG!!!! I just finished finding out what
maxillary osteotomy is. I'm thinking you
are way out of my league with just this
one procedure
You poor girl.

ok I found arthroplasty....that sounds
like what I'm having...meaning they are
replacing the joint right??
I couldn't find bilateral coroniodectomies
though....What is that? I'm almost afraid
to hear.
Wow Dyan. You really are way out of my
league. I'm ashamed of myself for
complaining at all now
Is your surgery the 9th? I was thinking
it was the 23rd? Let me know so I will be
able to send you extra positive energy and
prayers, of course. Oh...I have to go
put the boy monster oops, I mean child in
the shower.
It would be cool to have a room where we
could chat live. I don't even think
chatrooms exist anymore, do they?
Anyway...got to go before the 12 year girl
child kills the 7 year old boy child

Hey Posted: 03-28-07 12:42pm
let me save you the hassle of looking it
up.
1. Maxillary Osteotomy LeFort I ---they
will cut out my back teeth and lower them
to fit my lower teeth. yes painful I'm
scared to death but oh well--i guess it
has to be done.
2. Left Arthroplasty ---open joint surgery
on the left joint to get the disc back on
top of the condyle. they also have to fix
the muscle bandings on both sides.
3. Bilateral Coroniodectomies-- if you
look at a skull there is a condyle like
bone before the condyle(makes sence?) they
will file down that bone on both sides
before fixing the muscles.
surgery is on the 11th. I leave the 9th
and come back on the 23rd.
I too wish we had a chat room. Ill email
these guys and see if we cant get one. If
not if you all want give me your email and
ill send you and invite to gmail and they
have chat built in. so if I'm on feel free
to bother me.
you all know where i am if you need me.
ok just looked at pictures
--------------should not have done that.
lol
Ive been doing this for 15 years its
definitely time for some releif.
