Jaw surgery. She's had some bone missing in her left jaw and it causes breathing problems when she sleeps (if she sleep 8 hours, it feels like 4 or 5 to her) so she doesn't have much of a choice in it. The way I understand it they're going to open her up, break her jaws, go up and put some metal plates in, wire her teeth shut, and then close it all back up. She'll have to talk with her teeth closed (and I assured her I'll make fun of her for it ). Although the bigger deal is a liquid diet for 6 weeks or so, and no school or work.
I'm not worried by any means. I just wish she didn't have to go through it.

Ouch. That's not good at all. Sorry to hear that, David.
I have a weird jaw that annoys me. The right side clicks a lot, especially when I'm waking up. I can make it click at will too but I don't like doing it. It hurts a small bit.
I'm not sure how long it's been like this either... hmm.

That's rough. Yeah, a good thing it's low-risk, but it sounds like quite the ordeal.

She said the thing that bothers her the most about it is the fact that she'll be on 5-6 different kinds of pain medications (she hates taking medicine period) and that she won't be as independent as she normally is when she's recovering i.e. she'll have some difficulty walking early on.
All in all, like me, I think she just wants it to be over with.

I just got a five disc Faust box (The Wümme Years) and a two disc compilation of German rock and electronic music from the 70s and 80s, plus a big bunch of albums from different bands, so there's plenty to explore now.
Salty want!
Might end up asking for that one for my birthday...nothing wrong with giving gift ideas 6 months in advance, right?
