Fourth week after jaw surgery

[crowhen]

Swelling is still there. Bruising is disappearing. Can't open mouth as widely as I would like. My splint shoudl be out in 10 days, but because of my surgeon's and ortho's schedule conflicts, it'll be more like three weeks. The splint also gives me a lisp and makes chewing hard. And it collects bits of rotting food behind it. Want it off noooooow

Awesome! It's exciting that you're doing so well with the healing. It's unfortunate about the splint, but when it's out you will be ready to rock again. :D

Yeah, Ibuprofen is good at reducing inflamation, hence promoting healing. Remember when you had ice cream for breakfast every day? Seems you later moved up to chocolate pie and bacon. Just think, some day you will be able to have bacon with you key lime pie. Hope the first week back at work went well. It's tough when your body is not properly booted up and online yet.
