I am just about starting to look like a normal human being now, swelling has drastically reduced and am happy to go out in public, however not yet to eat as bottom lip and chin still extremely numb and mouth only opens about a finger wide so eating is still a messy issue.Wednesday night decided to be spontaneous and went to see the new bond film... Skyfall with Luke and some other friends, this was actually better then I thought it would be, one of first Bond movies I have actually sat and watched the whole way through. Didn't get home though until gone 1am though but was well worth it.
Anyway I had my hospital appointment on Wednesday now have the go ahead to eat proper food and chew!!! My surgeon is happy with the swelling reduction etc and therefore does not need to see me again for 3 months, however I am still under the orthodontic team in regards to my brace. Hopefully getting the surgical hooks removed in 2 weeks yes, as since my feeling is returning to the inside of my mouth I am unfortunately now able to feel the chunks of flesh that these hideous hooks are gorging out of me. I am also hoping and praying that since the hooks are coming off this so means that my elastics will be finished as well as I will have nothing to hook them onto and will be able to exercise my jaw until it opens a normal amount to at least fit a grape in. Instead I am currently having to cut my grapes into 2 or even sometimes 3 pieces.
So I think this is going to be one of the last blogs I ever do as not much is changing now in regards to my jaw and it's becoming more of a general rant he he.
