2-Week Follow-up

Due to Thanksgiving coming up, I met with Dr. Steed at the Emory Clinic. Dr. Roser was in surgery. Dr. Steed said my incisions are healing remarkably well. The stitches in my gums are almost all dissolved. No chewing yet. Rubber bands remain on.

Pain continues and is severe at times. Prescription written for refill of Roxicet. Lortab does not help much.

I’m still not very active due to low energy levels. Still mostly resting. Walking to get the mail is about the extent of my exercise. I can’t wait to get back on the tread mill and get my energy back.

Voice Loss

Dr. Steed said there is a good chance my voice will return. In his experience, full recovery occurs about 85% of the time.
