Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi Mrs.: Not to worry, enjoy your trip. What is happening now is the making of a model for my approval. It takes about 6 weeks. Once approved they will make the permanent implant and we will schedule your surgery at your convenience. I think there is some confusion regarding the timing. The issue was waiting beyond a certain time period to make sure there is no further infection. There is no time limit as to when we can put the bone back in. I will let you know when I get the model. Have fun, Best regards Carlos -----Original Message----- From: Bhavani [http://www.juno.com/~margaretch] Sent: Monday, January 09, 2006 11:44 AM To: Carlos A. Subject: Lahey Dr. - As you know I had my CAT scan at Lahey Fri. Jan. 6TH. Until I hear from you I will be 'patient'. I have previously made reservations for a holiday(retreat) from Feb. 3-19. I don't know if this would be a prime time when the skull replacement would be available but...If necessary I could cancel my plans. I just wanted to give you a heads up- pun intended. Warm regards, Bhavani Margaret
