'Twas a long morning. Gorse Fox delivered C-c to the hospital 30 minutes before here appointment. Unfortunately everything was running 45 minutes late. So we sat and chatted, and read, and chatted some more. Eventually she was seen and the Dr. was very pleased with her progress. All the connecting bands were removed, and she was asked to wait outside to see how things settled.

We waited some more. She was relieved that she could actually move her mouth and not keep her mouth clenched. So we sat and chatted some more. The Dr. called her back and seeing that there had been no immediate sign od instability allowed her to come home untethered. She still has to return for further checks and ultimately to have the metal anchors removed... but this is progress.
