Guest guest Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 I am 10 days post-op today (upper & lower jaw---28 screws & 6 plates) I had my wires taken off and replaced with removeable elastics, I learned how to remove the elastics myself and had the pleasure of brushing inside my mouth! This was followed by truly creamy mashed potatoes that my darling sister had waiting a home for me! Yes, I still cried off & on all afternoon. It is a very traumatic thing to go through. I found I was holding back the tears and then thoguht 'what the hell'~ I let it go & I feel so much better. My husband asked what happened and I just told him that I needed to let it out! Well, I have the elastics back on and giving my sore jaw a break.....later I am going to try some little pieces of lobster (not getting my hopes up too high on that one though!)
