i have read many many posts, but just signed up today. i have also read may blogs and found a lot of support in this site.
i just had a lefort yesterday for my SARPE. i have to expand 6mm in all, and i got 4 mm of expansion in surgery and one turn of the key today. so, i only have 2 mm to go! i will turn once a day for one week. woohoo.
mostly in discomfort and i put lip balm on before and its burning. i guess that means somewhere under the swelling i do have feeling. actually, the ice is calling for me now. so i must go.
i just wanted to thank everyone for sharing their experiences and helping others get through similar experiences.
