Guest guest Posted July 18, 2002 Report Share Posted July 18, 2002 Hello everyone, I went to my doctor's today, and he was just about ready to take off the splint. But i asked him if it was alright to do that since he accidently popped off a couple of my brackets during surgery. So he decided not to, and to wait til tuesday when i have my dentist appointment to take off the splint and have my dentist replace those brackets. Recently, i've gotten so fed up from eating liquids, that i tried to just swallow soft food, stuff that doesnt need much chewing. I started eating chicken, macaroni and cheese, french toast, and other soft foods. I was shocked to find out that i can chew fruit loops, hehehehe... My doctor reassured me that its impossible that my jaw will fall off from chewing something soft, since it was held together with plates and screws. I can't wait to just open my mouth to bite into a big juicy hamburger, or slice of pizza. Most of my swelling has gone down, and i'll post some more recent pictures of me. I just wanted to share with everyone where i'm at right now in my journey to a better bite. And to tell everyone whos having a tough time with recovery, to just hang in there, and it'll go by faster than u think! -Ema Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
