Got an orthodontic acceleration on Wednesday.
Pretty easy as these things go and certainly nothing like what I already had. Which is not to say it's pretty; my upper jaw is a bit of a mess right now, with the area over it visibly swollen and stitches sticking out between my upper front teeth. Also still bleeding a bit, even 36 hours later.

9-month Update
Hello, folks...
Long time no post. Sorry about that. There were several junctures I mean to at, but in a nutshell, my recovery is just about complete. I had the bookend procedure today; the one that removes the surgical plates. It was done in Dr. Jelic's office under IV anesthesia, but not general--I ended up drifting in and out the entire two-hour plus procedure.
So now, temporarily, I'm back to where I was--as in, back on the puree diet I was on for seven weeks after the initial procedure. This time, however, it will only last 7-10 days, then an equal amount of time on soft foods afterwards is my understanding. I can take it. It's nothing compared to what I've already been through.
