29 days post op and second follow up appointment

Today I saw Dr. Sullivan for my one month post op appointment. I won't see him again for another 3 weeks on February 1st. That'll be the day they take off my palate splint. I no longer have to wear a front elastic. Just one on each side of my mouth. He also cleared me for orthodontics and said I can begin chewing after they change the wire on my top teeth. Things have been a lot easier. I do have a lot of teeth pain and I do have jaw joint pain occasionally but it's all easily manageable. Still cannot feel my lower lip or chin but I can control both, gotta be thankful for that at least. I'm happy with my diminished swelling results. I see the orthodontist on the 26th which will be an adventure of its own!

 I've come a long way since this... 👍☺
