Yesterday marked week 7. I can't believe it's been almost 2 months since the surgery! I saw my orthodontist this week. He changed my upper wire and the way I wear my bands. My jaws hurt the rest of the day and the next but feel fine now. I used the jaw wrap to help with the soreness. Still getting some painful shocks in my lips. When I was at the ortho he poked my lip with a wire which made me cry out and brought tears to my eyes. I thought half my lip was hanging off but it was just my nerves playing tricks on me. He said they do that when they heal. I will see him again in a month. Still numb on my lower left side. I do feel tingling there so maybe I will have feeling back soon.
I'm still having trouble breathing and a sinus infection. Would love to breathe again. Next week I have an appt with the surgeon and will find out what was discussed with the ENT.
Even with the sinus infection, things are going well. Nothing I can't handle. And the inside of my mouth is healing well.
We have a busy weekend and then next week it's off to Minneapolis. Brrr!
