14th week

I'm still wearing the elastics. 4 all in all everyday. The nurse gave me to packets last month and they're still aplenty. I would take the two front off and try to keep them in a place easily remembered but somehow they have wings or legs of their own and I wouldn't be able to find them. My memory seems a bit off..
The teeth on the upper right seem to move ever so slowly. They don't look like their getting closer to close the bite.
The discomfort I felt (which came from the back end upper right molar) isn't as pronounced as it was last week when i was lax in wearing the elastics.
I also seem to have gotten some of my left cheek back. However, my the contour of my face seem to be 'lumpy' for some reason. My cheeks and jawline. sigh.. not the smooth (though mishappen) contour i had pre-surgery.
I'm somewhere in the 55-55.5kg weightage. More food, less workout. Need to resume some kind of workout.. can't go swimming.. with the flu scare going.. invisible threats are everywhere.
My left eye is nowhere near normalcy. Is it a big price to pay for having a good bite?

13th week

i skipped wearing some of the elastics for 3 days and suffered..the upper right back tooth is giving me some discomfort. (i am only guessing that's the cause)..
Other than that, my chin on the right is still generally numb. I have also gained some more weight. Hmm... must be the rice i'm starting to consume back.
My left eye-lid is still not closing properly. Sigh...

3 months

Today marks the 12th week/ 3rd month post op.
Can't believe it has been 3 months. I'm still adjusting to this new jaw position. I was carefully chewing this potato chip just now and still managed to bite the inside of my left cheek. Ouch.
I'm able to eat more now and that's the reason why I am gaining some kg's now.
If I really stretch, i'm able to open up to 320mm(my mouth that is).
Still some way to go for my eyes to recover.

11th week plus 2 days

one more week and it'll be 3 months post op.

Went for a body massage today. when the masseus massaged my left temple, i felt this ..this pain.. that i didn't feel on the right temple. she said it's my nerve, the injured one.. which was making my left eyelid lazy. she eased her fingers on the area around the temple and felt this sensation that left me feeling a bit breathless. it was painful no doubt.

she said to keep on with massage treatment slowly for a few times to help with the lazy lid.



by the by..

i can open up as high as 30mm now.

i am still conscious of the assymetry of the size of my eyes when i laugh.

lower left gum is still somewhat numb.

the lower left lip is still somewhat numb.

i can feel the jut of the plate more.

i still weigh between 53-54kg.
