Guest guest Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 I just got home from the hospital. My doctor said the surgery went very well he could not ask for better. My jaw was moved 3mm and corrected slighty lateral to line up the midlines I have very little numbness on just one side which seems to be improving. My doctor said he is sure I will not have any permanent numbness I dont have any pain but I am so uncomfortable. I am wired with a splint for the next six weeks. I cant communicate no one understands me. When will I be able to communicate. My dad was telling the cab driver the wrong way to go to my house, I didnt have paper on me at that moment I was getting so frustrated. Eventhough I have lots of friends and family that love me and were very concerned I feel so isolated. I look hideous right now. I weigh 125 pds yet my face looks like it weighs 500. When will I be able to walk out in the street and look normal. Did you guy have trouble getting food down with a straw. I just tried to sip soup. The soup is too thick. Does your ablilty to eat get better. Any food suggestion for right after surgery. All I have eaten in 24 hours is apple juice and water I feel like I am drooling a lot when does that go away? I keep getting naseous but have no food in me to throw up. I am proud that I did the surgery but miserable on how I feel right now. Any suggestions Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
