Well... not the best news this morning from Heather's surgeon.

In her initial surgery, only two of the three breaks was operated on. The third break was in a more risky location for nerve damage, so it was hoped that just fixing the first two would align things. Well.. it didn't. She is still unable to close her jaw fully, and a scan this morning revealed that it is not aligned properly. So... she's back to the hospital in the next week sometime when they can get an operating room booked and fix it. More drugs, more swelling, more wires.... no fun! This time, they will have to require small incisions below each ear as well... leaving some small scars.
