So I had my surgery two weeks ago yesterday. Do you count the day of the surgery as the first day or not. My husband and I have been debating this. I had my surgery at 730 in the morning, so I kind of think it counts a little. Let's call today Day 14.5.
A lot of the feeling is coming back into my lip, but my chin is still driving me nuts. I still have good nights and bad nights with the sleeping, but the majority of the pain in my joints is gone. I am trying to be extremely diligent about oral hygiene. I don't want anything to get messed up. I brush with a children's toothbrush because it fits better in my mouth right now. I am able to open a little over one finger though and I am working on increasing that each time I take my rubber bands off to eat.

I'm jealous that you already are regaining feeling! I'm still completely numb in many areas. :(
Hi! Wanted to let you know I've enjoyed reading your account of surgery and am rooting for your ongoing recovery. Sounds like everything is going really well (all things considered, right? :) )
Question for ya: How did your daughter react to mom not looking quite the same? Was she okay with the "not so pretty stages" of coming home all swollen and difficulty talking? I worry a bit about what my kids reactions will be.
Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences with us. May I add you to my Blog links?
Take care
