More hooks

My ortho told me today that the metal thingy we noticed in the x-ray taken most recently was ligature left during surgery. It's non-dangerous.. so i think it can be left just there.

4 more kobayashi hooks for me to help in closing the bite. She was quite pleased with the progress of my mouth opening. 3cm at the maximum.. at a tolerable state of uncomfortableness...and 2.5cm-2.8cm at rest.
Now i'm supposed to put on the elastics all day though that's not technically possible. I do have to open my mouth to talk to my students and having the two elastics on each sides was already an eye-turner. :)
