Guest guest Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 I called my Os as soon as you posted about it on Friday, and he said he hasn't given them out for many years because he finds his patients eventually regain their range of motion. But I was not about to take no for an answer so I said " So you think the Therabite won't dramatically help, but it won't hurt me if I decide I will pick one up from you? " He just laughed and said " Yes, if you want one, come by Monday, but I want to see you at 25mm by Monday morning. " I was still barely squeezing out 21mm, so I slowly but surely exercized and stretched my jaw aaaalll weeekend looong. The result? 30mm this morning! Plus I got the Therabite which I will use as soon as I get home. Thanks to the doc, my boyfriend for pushing me to do more reps (even while watching a DVD together!)and thanks to the encouraging words of those here on this site including Marsha, I got to 30mm! But it's not over yet; my goal is to be back at 45-47mm, my pre-op range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
