Hi all!

I have had my 2-day post op photos posted here:

http://www.jayadeff.com/JR_Surgery.htm

I'm starting to look less like I'm drunk! YAY!

I am getting tons of feeling back in my face which is

a mixed

blessing since I am now feeling the trauma to my gums

and teeth. I

wish I could feel my chin. I have now lost a total of

25 lbs in 3

weeks, though I am eating much better now. I still

would kill for a

bacon cheeseburger, though. Can't wait to start

chewing again, and

to start lifting weights again! UGH!

I have an appointment with my surgeon tomorrow to see

if I have

enough room (22mm) to have my root canals done the

following week.

The surgeon is trying to work out a discount with the

endodontist

for the root canals since the teeth were damaged in

surgery. Wish

me luck!

And this will be my second week back at work... first

week wasn't as

difficult as I thought it would be, but I am a Project

Manager, so

3/4 of my day is talking. That was challenging.

Only 18 days left of the splint... WHEE!

Wow Jayar!

You look great! 25lbs weight loss? That must be a record! I would

be surprised if they could do those root canals so soon. How the

heck are you going to open your mouth wide enough? I have had my

experience with root canals having had 10 already.

Best of Luck to You,

Thanks, ! I hold a lot of water, plus I was very muscular

before the surgery. Since I am now a big flabby mess, I would

hazard a guess that most of my muscle is now fat... that would be

the explanation of the weight loss. I can't wait to get back into

the gym, though.

I have to have the root canals before the splint can come off

because I will go right back into orthodontic wires the same day as

the splint is off. According to my endodontist, I have to have them

done before that happens because the teeth could be lost if they

suffer further trauma. The good news is that when I was disbanded a

week ago, I had about 8mm opening in my jaw. Now, I am at about

15mm. I have a week to go, and 7mm to go, so I am confident that it

can be done. The upside is that these are my lower cuspids, so it

should be easier to get to them than the back teeth. Wish me luck!

Thanks! It hurt to smile, but my partner insisted. I used to think

that it hurt to smile for other reasons, but now it is literal.

Ugh. I can't wait to be free of this splint hell! (I *hate*

drooling in meetings!)

You're looking good!

I think maybe, just maybe, I even see a smile there!

Congratulations.
