Every best wish for a speedy recovery Shasbob!

Jaw surgery is limiting to you for a few weeks after surgery, but if you follow all instructions carefully and do your best to get your buising out and swelling down, things will improve quickly.

Sorry that you're having to have your jaw 'wired'. That's not done with most jaw surgery now, instead elastic bands are used. A few ortho's still prefer wiring, but they're mostly over it. No matter what, your jaw needs to be kept reasonably stable for a few weeks to enable the best healing environment.

Good luck and I look forward to reading about how it goes for you!
