BaliGirl's Jaw Surgery Saga: January 2012
http://jawsurgerysaga.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
BaliGirl's Jaw Surgery Saga. Thursday, January 26, 2012. Just saw my surgeon for my 4 week checkup and everything looks good. My range of motion is now 40 mm and he said that's right on track and maybe a little better than most (he was probably just being nice, but I'll take it! The BEST news, however, is that he made an appointment to remove my splint in 2 weeks. Yippee! After the splint is removed I will go straight from his office to my orthodontist to have a new continuous wire made for my upper teeth.

http://jawsurgerysaga.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
BaliGirl's Jaw Surgery Saga. Saturday, December 31, 2011. I slept great again last night. I still can't believe how good I feel compared to what I was expecting. My surgeon called me this morning to see if I needed my nose cleaned out again. It's Saturday. His office is closed. How awesome is it that he called to check on me on a Saturday and offered to come in just for me? The back part of my palate is swollen and mostly numb and it feels like I need to constantly swallow. Every time I swallow the b...

BaliGirl's Jaw Surgery Saga. Monday, March 19, 2012. 115 Weeks: Orthodontic Torture Devices, Chewing, and More! I had appointments with my orthodontist and surgeon today. Lucky me. My next appointments are in a month and I hope to have better news by then. Fingers crossed! Friday, March 2, 2012. Day 65: Can 2 out of 3 Dental Professionals Be Wrong? I sure hope so. Don't want to go through this surgery again, but if I do have to, I'd rather get it over with sooner than later. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

BaliGirl's Jaw Surgery Saga: Survival Kit
http://jawsurgerysaga.blogspot.com/p/survival-kit.html
BaliGirl's Jaw Surgery Saga. Here's a list of things that I used every day while recovering from jaw surgery. This list is a work in progress - check back from time to time for updates. Small bucket to tote supplies around the house, in the car, etc. I found this to be incredibly helpful to have everything I needed in one place - meds, lip balm, things to clean up, water, flashlight, mirror, etc. Where I go, my bucket goes. Large ziploc bag for trash. Condiment/squeeze bottles to use for purees and smoot...
