So, it's been 4 months! 16th weeks today. I didn't write anything down last week due to hecticness( is there such a word?) and urm..there was nothing much to report.
I am getting a bit more sensation on my lower left chin though. It feels more ticklish when touched now. Not that much, just some. And sometimes I get this sharp pain when I exagerrate some mouth movement or when I pinch my lower left lip. Pain which is otherwise not felt on the lower right lip. Wonder why..
My bite is ever so slowly closing in. The right side of my bite is still a few mm open. It doesn't seem to want to close!
Reading through other people's blog gave me a better way of exercising the jaws. So, I've been forcing my jaw to open up as wide as I can and holding the position for up to a minute or so. I would pry them open using both hands. I tell you.. sometimes I feel like I'm unhinging the jaws by doing this exercise. lol.. And so, up to last night, i'm 34mm wide. sigh..
My left eye is still not closing properly. I do hope the nerves are getting better.
On a brighter note, I've gotten back my left cheek. A plus sign on this 16th week in recovery. I've also been slowly eating more chewable food like vegetables, chicken bits. I feel happy to be able to bite off food with my front teeth as i've never ever been able to do that. It's almost bliss.
