Hi Bryanna, thanks for asking. He said 11 is healing well. I got the flipper today and I just got home. I tried it on (it is a hard acrylic that goes all the way around to the back right) and I can't form words properly. I am going to see how that goes, practice talking...I see a lot on the net telling you how to practice. This isn't a permanent solution but at least I don't look like a jack-o-lantern anymore. Will I ever sound normal..how long does it usually take to talk like we did before?

There is no chance of that happening when removing a bone spur unless the entire surgical area has to be opened and debrided..... which is rarely if ever done.
So what did the surgeon say at your post op yesterday?
