10 weeks post op

I visited the orthodontist yesterday...we changed out my wires and got rid of the wires with the lugs on them with was nice.

I am still working on my exercise to get my mouth open wider..I was up to 19 Popsicle stick but feel like I have lapsed...now back to about 15.  My jaw is very tight and sore.  Also I have not been as diligent as I should be about doing my exercises.  I am working on that.

Dr Tunjay mentioned that my mid line was slightly off when I bite so I need to adjust my bite..I need to starters wearing a rubber band whenever possible to help with the adjustment.  It is just getting used to my new bite where it should be and how my teeth should line up.

I go back in three weeks for a sure smile scan.  They will scan each tooth to come up with a 3D image the. Will computerize what movement needs to be done.  Sure smile will make the necessary wires for the needed movements.  I don't have a timeline right now but hope it is not much longer!

All for now!

Back To Work

My Last visit with the surgeon for a while was on Wednesday the 1st of march.  I told him I had either and Extension form or a return to work form...he said - do you want to go back to work..I said  no never...LOL... but I have to..so he signed off and Thursday the 2nd I came back to work..I started off with just a 2 day work week and I am very glad I did becasue I was very tired.

I am still not eating a lot so my energy level is pretty low so getting through a 10 hour work day is a little rough.  Now it is not like I am running around all day but still it is a long day... and I do miss my afternoon naps...

The surgeon asked if I  was doing my tongue depressor exercises - and I said Yes I am at 11 right now!  - Which means I can get a stack of 11 tongue depressors in my mouth-  He said i need to push myself  harder..- As of today I am up to Seventeen..! 

This will be a full week of work so we will see how that goes....I will keep you up to date...
