Cat -hope work is going great for you.

I didn't have them removed after surgery but I did have the top ones removed 4 weeks ago and they were in my Jaw since 92.

Ashleigh wow 8 days until you get your splint removed it is quite amazing how things go so quick. I hope you can be able to eat well without the splint and get some crunchy food soon afterwards. Are you going to put a picture on your blog after you get your splint out ?

Yay for being rash free and hope your numbness subsides soon

hopefully you will be able to do that and when is your next appt ? I wonder how the rest are doing like shouldn't Ashleigh be near 4 wks post op since she had her surgery Feb 2 and I was 4 days after her which I'm doing alot better than I had been and my numbness in still working it's way out which ...

keeponsmiling stopped by to wish you good luck on your surgery

edamut hope your rashes are gone it's not fun to have reaction to medicine. catsteeth wow tightbanded for another 2 weeks will that mean afterwards that you will have no more splint and looser bands or will it mean you will still have the splint but with looser bands that you can take out during eat...

catsteeth I'm so glad your surgery wasn't postponed and you got in instead of waiting longer time after being so close to it that would be terrible. I'm 16 days post op my upper lip and right side of nose is still numb so it still bugs my sinuses as they run sometimes then they stop as I can't blow ...

Edamut that is pretty great for recovery moving along fast especially after this short of time as I wonder if lower jaws are more tolerable than upper jaws because a few years ago I had a wire removed from back of lower jaw that wasn't a big deal like the plate removal

Pa1n-I think many sounds jaw make noises as I had plate removal on my top jaw and my bottom jaw clicks sometimes and I believe that is due to moving around. Edamut so your almost 2 wks post op right as if I recall your surgery was the day after mine right ? Soft food usually starts within 12-14 wks ...

Sorry to hear about that and I agree don't postpone the surgery. The sooner you start the quicker your recovery begins and you will soon be comfortable enough to share support to your bf during this hard time. Yes, its pretty common to be moody for a bit after surgery as I was wishing someone sent m...

catsteeth hoping you were able to get your surgery done today hence the reason for not posting Ashleigh Hope your pnemonia get better soon and how was your mashed potatoes the x-rays are amazing. Worldpeace look like your moving along your recovery well. Edamut glad you got to eat some yummy broccol...

When did it start poking thru? I just had my plate removed when my screw was poking thru and then fell out during eating. So I learned if its working its way out its already loose as my OS should have put some coverage over the exposed plate and unscrew the other screw that was getting loose because...

catsteeth terrible about the strike when will you know for sure if your going in or not tomorrow ? Please update us and I'm for sure its pretty disappointing it gets so close your excited to begin your process but then nervous about the process and recovery but getting into relief it would be closer...

catsteeth my son is 7 1/2 and he has a space between his upper teeth. Plus his other top teeth are coming in crooked which are his lateral incisors on the top. I do want to make sure to get a good going compatible orthodontist as I had one that Mom went to so she thought she would take me to him He ...
