Hello again everyone,

Well...I have not been on here for a while, and I just wanted to

check up on everyone, and tell you what is new with me....Well first

and for most, I am writing to you with one more week to make it to

my three month post op date. I have been thorugh a lot to get to

this point, and I never ever thought I would make it through

everything, but here I am...I have been back for my post op

appointments on a regular basis, so far the news I have gotten is

not good news..I have been working really really hard on stretching,

and I have not made that much progress, I can fit two fingers

comfortably between my two front teeth, I'm getting very

frusterated...and I had a peice of gum growing out of my insition,

so he cut it off, OUCH! and then he told me that if it grew back,

that it might mean that I am having a bad reaction to the bone

plate, and that could mean removing it in the future...! I don't

know how much longer I can put up with all this, I am very pleased

with the results of it, and I think it is well worth it, and I might

do it again..lol...but after I get over this, you can ask me

again...if i would do it again! I don't know what to say though...I

still get the occational pain spots, my top gums are still numb, and

when i brush them i get the feeling like when someone runs their

finger nails across a chalk board...!!!!!!! But if you have any

suggestions...or anything at all to say...please reply...i love

hearing what you all have to say..thanks.~KATIE~

Hi !

Three months already for you? Wow, time is flying. I'm a bit over 3

months, too. I can only put two fingers in my mouth comfortably, as

well. I don't think my surgeon is concentrating on that too much,

since I have this other issue of relapse that we're addressing now.

I get my 2nd opinion from a surgeon on 11/12, so I'm in limbo. But

otherwise, at 3 months, I have great sensitivity in my lower gumline

between two bottom teeth. I've had it for about 3 weeks and hoping

it subsides soon. I'm hoping it's just the nerves waking up in a

frenzy, since most of my gums are still numb. The roof of my mouth

is slowwwlllly coming back to life, too. I was kinda hoping all this

numbness would be gone by now, but it sure does take a lot of time.

Gotta run! Good luck and hang in there.

Irish!
