Well... I had my four week follow up yesterday. The surgeons took out my splint and are trilled with my bite!

I was sad about another week in the splint, but I am on longer restricted by the elastics! The good part out of this is that I can open ...

It pure torture here! I'm only 3 days from getting my splint off and progressing to food without the use of a straw or syringe. It feels like I'm gonna lose it sometimes...

Went in yesterday for my two weeks post op (actually only 12 days, but close enough!). My surgeon says everything looks good and I will get the splint out next Monday and progress to and I quote "extreme soft foods". I guess this is food right before soup constancy?!? Anyways, just getting...

Well, I'm at day 4 post op. I was actually well enough to venture outside the house today and ride with my wife to drop our pooch at the groomers! A good noticeable amount of swelling subsided overnight and I haven't used any Roxicet since yesterday morning. I have managed to keep my smoothie and sh...
