Well big news today, I'm one month post op and I got the splint out today.
Everyone! WOOOHOOO!!!
And let me tell you, that thing was DISGUSTING.
Dr. L says that I'm doing very, very well. I can sleep on my side (I'm a little scared to) and I'm still on a mush diet for the next four weeks. Cream of Wheat, eggs and potatoes. And yogurt and pudding.
My new bite, well, I haven't felt it yet, because I can't bite down or I'll bite off my lower brackets. I have an appointment with Dr. S. tomorrow, so hopefully we can get this fixed very soon.
I'm feeling a lot of muscle tension now that the splint is gone but I'm sure that will pass once my body gets used to it.
So, good news, for the most part. Fingers crossed that Dr. S' appointment goes well tomorrow.

YAY!! I'm so excited for you! Hopefully they'll get the bite thing figured out so that you don't have so much muscle tension in your jaws (I have that with my TMJ...it sucks). Can't wait to see pictures of how you're progressing!
