So time doesn't exactly fly in a hospital like this, but I have been luxury equipped by Clara's and Johan's employers with a free wifi laptop, which has been very helpful. Also the occasional showings of Premier League football on the otherwise lame Brazilian TV-channels have been a blessing. In the beginning life wasn't easy, but quite soon I managed to regain my speech and my abilty to swallow making things a bit more pleasant. After about 5 days in the hospital bed, eating the same tasteless soup most days, accompanied by different juices I eventually got to my scheduled leftjaw surgery by monday lunchtime. I'll give you a Gordon Ramsey style summary to make things comprehensive:
3 1/2 hours surgery, roughly 20 stitches, 30 miniature titanium screws, 4 metall-plates, one removed piece of lead bullet, one left in for flavour, 3 1/2 hours rest. Reconstructive Jaw-Surgery: Done!
Simple as that really, however I had missunderstood a bit as I apparantly had two large bulletpieces left, one in each lower-jaw, they only removed the one which was located in the fractured left, whilst the other will do no harm where it is. What happens next is still not quite clear, I should hopefully be able to leave the hospital quite soon and then catch some rehab in a tranquil location, before my eardrum has healed and I will be allowed to get on a plane back home to freezing cold Sweden. My biggest dilemma now is what to do with my removed piece of lead, bear in mind it's not quite big enough for a coffee-table, however I'm open to all artistic and creative suggestions.

Have to think more what you can do with the piece of lead. But I am thinking about all the metal in your mouth maybe you will be caught in security and not allowed to fly, especially carrying a bullet. Take good care of yourself now, Love Mum

How about a nice tea-towel holder for the kitchen, with a bullet instead of a marble?? Uncle Mike

Hej Paul!
Jätteskönt att läsa att Du är vid så gott mod, trots att Du antagligen har ont & kanske fortfarande är rätt skärrad!?! Verkar också som Du kommit till ett bra sjukhus. Hoppas nu att Du sakta men säkert blir starkare, så vi snart får se Dig på hemmaplan.
Tills dess - vi är många som tänker på Dig!
