update on Jill...unwired today ...YEAH

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

Just an update..Im 5 wks post op and got unwired today...Boy, did that feel

weird but good at the same time..I have rubber bands for 2 weeks..Bands make you

jaw feel more secure. I was so excited to eat however it was very

hard..Soreness, and I can only open my mouth to one finger..The OS doesnt want

me to exercise any more than eating or brushing my teeth for these next 2

weeks...he said I could eat things as spagetti, fries, mashed pots, soft meat,

but nothing like steak, pizze, apples, raw vegs..Honestly, the first day you can

hardly eat anything ..I did eat baked pot, macaronni, bite of coconut cream

pie..I tried to break up lettuce with cheese but that was hard...Im just glad to

get these wires off...and talk normal again...

I get to go back to OD in 2 weeks..I know I still need a little work on my

midline, but my bite, and everything else is great..They look so good..Then in

about Jan 2006 I will have to get the one plate next to my nose removed due to

its bend up and left a knot..also he will enlarge my lips at that time so they

will look larger and better..My mouth now looks tiny...and top lip very

small...I still have very small numbness on cheeks beside nose (not much), and

small amount in upper lip, but upper gums are still totally numb...

I guess Im on the road to recovery though..maybe not too much longer in these

braces which Ive had for 25 months for the 2nd time..first time at age 17 and Im

no were near 17 anymore..I will actually be 36 on Sunday the 13th..so here comes

the cake..my son will be 10 on Sat the 12th, so we will def have alot to party

about..

ok, enough of my rambling, I hope everyone is feeling better or better soon..

Jill

Thanks

,Jill McManigal
