Guest guest Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 Hi everyone! So I am almost to 2 weeks post op (12 days to be exact, but who's counting...) and I have only left my house once to go to my first post-op appointment, and twice just for a drive to get out of the house. I made this huge deal last night and tonight because I refuse to go anywhere. Is anyone else in this same situation? No one seems to understand that despite feeling " okay " , I don't look even remotely good, I still drool a lot, I can't talk right, and again, I look like a swollen bruised crazy! I am for sure getting very rambunctious being here, but really don't feel like I can face anyone. I swear, I feel like I'm going to stay home until my splint comes out, I can talk, and I can eat like a normal person. (I'm going double crazy because it's the biggest b-b-q weekend ever here in Kansas City.....AAAHHHH!!!!) Aside from all of that, things are going " better " . I can definitely see signs of things getting easier and easier, but still very slow progress. My surgeon expects me to remove 8 rubber bands 4 times a day to do my jaw exercises, but I find it so much better just to leave them off for a large portion of the day. Again, anyone else have that issue? Thanks - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
