Jaw-ness is progressing. In the last 2 days I've cheated and used my front teeth to chew on some soft stuff. Overall what bugs me is jaw stiffness--because of not using it a lot. And my upper front teeth are rather weirded out by the presence and pressure of teeth below them I long for a vigorous brushing and some good old flossin'
Have you been given a referral to a temporo-mandibular joint specialist for your rehab? If not, I can perhaps see if mine (Heather Gordon) knows of anyone in the area. She was brilliant, and I even went back to her a couple of years later when I had some rebound problems.
Yea...I have to agree with creidylad given the possibility that you will need to be able to fly freely back and forth from Brasil in the next year or two I would hold off. A friend of ours who's papers were all in order and had been told "it's ok you may go" was allowed to go, but not allowed to come back for over 6 months. His wife and children were allowed to come back because the girls are US citizens by birth. The mother as caregiver. The father. Screwed. He was only allowed back to the US 3 weeks ago.
There's THAT, the wait, etc. When I applied for the green card my grandmother got very ill and I had to apply for papal dispensation to travel. Feh. I'll look into the rules and regs before applying. Thanks for the reminder!
