Re: I have a couple of questions...

,

ask if they are just wiring or screwing your jaw with rigid fixation...

just wiring is about 6 weeks till you talk normally because your jaws

are 100% clamped shut. The other way you are only clamped about a week.

Sounds like your dr's just gonna wire... like mine did. I can talk but

it's mumbled and I don't call people on the phone. I had to return a

call to my bank and the woman- after almost hanging up on me but then

realizing I told her i had jaw surgery, was all freaked out just

talking to me. She didn't want me to hurt myself. Also, if I talk too

much in general, which i tend to do, my teeth start to hurt from the

pressure on them.

Good Luck!

I just had my surgery yesterday and am taking pills fine. I have to

take this big amoxicillin antibiotic three times a day. It took

awhile to swallow without it hurting as the tube they put down your

throat to keep your airway open really scratches your throat and

causes pain when swallowing.
