Grade: 1

I have been diagnosed with having some sort of bone infection in my upper jaw, due to the false teeth that I have. This has been plaguing my performance, probably for years, however it has only been this year that I have really decided to do something about it.

I am peeved that all this training I have been doing, is great, but doesn't bring any results.

I have been to see Dr. Ledl and she looked at all blood samples and other stuff. We have decided to get my teeth done as a first step to seeing of this is the problem, unfortunately this will take some time and I expect to have the last operation (to remove the infected bone) at the end of August.

At that stage I will train hard for at least 1 or 2 months and then we will re-evaluate the entire situation.

First operation on 25.05.07 for the left side of my jaw, then 22.11.07 for the right side. Since then I have been recovering, now it's time to see how I've improved. I'm removing the injury tag, and end Jan I will have a re-evaluation with Dr. Ledl!
