Hi everyone.

Well, it's officially Friday, which means I am now 4 weeks post-op.

Everything is great. No swelling, no bruising, feeling is beginning

to return....Unfortunately so is my overbite and I seem to also have

developed a small crossbite. I never had a splint, just elastics. I

feel like my bite is good untill I remove the bands to eat or brush.

Then my jaw joint relaxes into a more functional position, and my

teeth no longer meet as well.

So grrrrrr! I have an appointment tomorrow morning with my OD. I am

frustrated with the elastics because I feel like they are just

tugging my jaw out of its best position (for the joint).

I was pretty depressed today about it. So much so that I haven't

discussed it with anyone. I just feel a bit raw about it, and I

don't want anyone to see how upset I really am. Could it just be the

full moon that has me all worked up??? I didn't cry even once during

my recovery. I guess I should have known it was a bit too easy.

I'll post about what my OD says in the morning. Grrrr.
