Hi Todd,

I'm way way preop. But I wanted to encourage you to post your

questions to the group. The questions and answers are so helpful to

the rest of us waiting.

Hope you are doing well,

Beth

Hi Todd.

If you'll post your questions, you will probably get answers in the

group. No one person knows everything, and experiences are greatly

varied, so you'll get more info by posting. Just a suggestion. I am

not critical of any way anybody wants to link to another consenting

adult for information, support or whatever.

What are your problems posting and finding answers? There's an

archive search on the home page, and you can post a search word or

two (e.g.: splint, numbness, wired, congestion) and come up with

some posts. It's a bit ponderous, as you have to keep going back,

and back and back, but not hard to do.

Warning: there is no typical experience that I've ever found. Some

people are wired for a day, some not at all, some for six or eight

weeks. Same thing with the splint. Same thing with the numbness, and

with exercising and with the tingles of nerve regeneration and

opening the jaw and eating. It just depends on your own body and

what was done to and for it. So the " how long " questions everyone

has are almost impossible to answer. Realistically, your surgeon has

the best answers for you on that one. Which will not stop you from

posting them, I know. Nor has it, anyone else. It's a frustrating

wait, sometimes.

Best. I can't be here reliably enough, just now, to try to help you

in e-mails -- and I'm no professional, either. But post, and I will

try to answer those things I have ideas about.

It will get better. That much I know. Just not how soon, nor how

much!
