Jane! I had a milestone too.....

[Guest guest]

Hi Jane,

I had to share with you my recent milestone.... Yesterday, for the

first time in my life (now that my overbite is corrected), I was able

to eat pizza and bite through it NORMALLY!!! I didn't have to eat it

with a fork or knife, or tear off pieces. I could even bite through

the pepperoni! Anyway, I was very excited so I thought I'd share it

with you. I am up to eating chicken now too (I couldn't a week

ago). I still have to try the cheeseburger... I'm a bit nervous about

being able to get my mouth around one though! How is your opening?

Mine is getting better OH SO SLOWLY.... Are you cracking nuts yet?!?

Have had a chance yet to ask your OS about the bump in your mouth

that is painful?? I had a place in my mouth that was hurting quite a

bit a few weeks ago and asked my surgeon about it. He said I was

feeling the plate/screw. I could feel a sort of bump there too. I

guess as numbness subsided in that particular area I was feeling pain

from the plate as everything was healing. Maybe you have a

plate/screw there that isn't on the other side in the same place and

you are feeling that?? I hope it turns out to be nothing/ something

simple. Let us know what you find out and good luck!! Try not to

worry too much in the meantime!!!
