Surgery is complete!!
We had been told surgery would be 4-5 hours, but it was just shy of 3 hours!
Dr. Martin came and spoke to us and let us know that surgery went well, went as expected. He extracted two wisdom teeth and her new jaw position fits nicely in the splint she has in her mouth. Swelling will get really bad in a day or two and then will be good around Day 10 post op.
Getting up and about and sitting in a chair later today will help start the recovery process. It'll be important for her to drink and stay hydrated and keep her pain under control.
She's in recovery and it'll be an hour or two before we can see her.
