Jaw surgery and music festivals! And NHS timings...
Posted: Sat Mar 06, 2010 5:34 am
So, I am 19 and definitely having my jaw surgery this summer, thank god! I'm not sure of the exact dates yet but I am having another consultation with my surgeon and a face bow made in May... i'm hoping that will mean the surgery will be in June sometime? Could anyone whose had surgery done in the UK on the NHS give me an idea of how long they were waiting around?
Also, since this is my last summer in my home town before my friends and I go our seperate ways to University, we are starting to make plans of fun and exciting ways to spend our last summer together (great timing for my surgery). Since we are all into our music, this basically consists of a lot of festivals, which obviously do not really mix with recovering from jaw surgery due to food/hygiene/sleeping flat in a tent/the-possibility-of-accidentally-getting-whacked-in-the-face-whilst-in-a-busy-crowd issues. So how long would you suggest, after jaw surgery, you would need to leave it before going to a music festival?
