Took longer than I thought, but it is over.
Five hours after leaving her, Dr. Patel came out to report. It went well he said. No nerves were cut (my big concern). The lower jaw was shortened and brought in line with the upper jaw (two teeth were lost in the process), bulk was removed from the soft tissue and some of her nevus removed. Ella was taken to post surgery room not intensive care unit and she looks much better than after the previous operation. She was awake and looking at me, but now is asleep after getting painkillers.
It’s awful seeing her in pain, not getting what is going on. I can already see a difference in the way her jaws meet. The rest is under bandages. Poor sweet Ella.
