Hey there Jacq,

I bet you're already exhausted from the big move. Then again, you are a young woman with an over-abundance of energy and muscles to spare. Ohhhh, I remember the days!

Thanks for your response. Yes, I think it was just my body's way of reacting to stress......a far different way than I have been for the past 4 years. I really think the Effexor XR has a lot to do with the apparent calmness with which I handled my daughter's situation. But stress is stress, and it has to exhibit itself somehow. I'll take swollen glands over a slashed wrist any day!!!!!!!!!!

I'm glad that I'm not sick, though, because that would mean sending my daughter out to her grandparents' to continue her recuperation. They're in their 70's now, and I don't want to place any undue pressure on them. But I certainly didn't want to give my little girl some sort of infection!! Only 2 more days until we go in for her first check-up with the oral surgeon. Oh, found out they shortened her upper lip as well....that's why there were so many stitches around the inside of her nose. But she says she can feel a tiny edge of the titanium plate sticking through her upper gum. That doesn't sound right. I hope it's not shifting and they'll have to do more work. Oh well, she won't mind missing more school. Lol. Her teachers are very interested in how she is doing, and they are behind her all the way. I think if she failed every subject during the second half of this term (which she WON'T), that they would pass her into Grade 10 anyways. She's an A/B student normally, so they know she would have done fine if not for the surgery.

Anyways, thanks for your concern with my glands. How do I always get back to the subject of my daughter?? Have fun moving, and enjoy your summer. PM me anytime. I still check the Board when I get the chance, but I don't post as much right at the moment.....unless "someone" still happens to be asleep. LOL.

God bless,
Sandy
