Swap surgery would be to exchange the expander for the final implants

Tina, I hate hearing you have to have another surgery but am hoping they get you "straightened out." You have definitely had some twists in the road, but continue to encourage others and serve as a mentor/role model.
Charlie, I hope your surgery went well and look forward to a good report.

All the best to you both!

Okay I'm up and trying to remember no eating, no drinking today. Surgery in 4 1/2 hours.  At least it isn't raining today.  I guess that's a plus.
