I've been doing a lot of walking, but am worried to actually exert myself with my jaws still wired.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10929294898350206763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8532391796040937423.post-17966940840884237752012-09-21T09:58:25.541-07:002012-09-21T09:58:25.541-07:00Erin I've been exactly the same! I've been...Erin I've been exactly the same! I've been annoyed about the slightest details about how my face is looking too, but I think it's just hard to get used to, and when theres the whole thing of swelling thrown into the mix it just makes you worry! But then when I compare how I look now with how I looked before it's easy to see it was 100% worth it:) although I completely agree this surgery is NOT to be taken lightly it was most definately the hardest thing I've ever done and a lottt worse that I expected. But we are out the other side phew! we never have to have that experience again:) and yesss any other dental work will seem like nothing in comparison! So, have you been given the license to chew then? they told me I could begin chewing again around 8 weeks but I haven't seen my surgeon recently (my next appointment is next week) and so I'm still eating mush... hopefully when I see my surgeon he'll say I can try chewing again! I can't imagine chewing though, when ever I tentitavely, gently chomp on something it feels really wrong and uncomfortable but I'm sure It's just about adjusting to it:) are you still swollen or do you think it's mainly gone down now? you look fantastic:)xxxRosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12434640537470359905noreply@blogger.com
