25th week

6 month and 1 week.
still wearing elastics to help with the closing of the bite especially on the right side, near the canine region.
left side of my chin is still a bit numb.
closing my left eye...will somewhat be mistaken with a weak attempt at a weak winking gesture.
opening of jaw : 380mm..

view of teeth...as of end of august..

23rd week

One week shy of 6 months since the surgery. As forewarned, things have really been moving at a slow pace. I noticed that if i want to close both my eyes, it's a conscious effort to do so, especially closing my left eye. When I do so, the left side of my cheek would also rise upward, as if to help the eye with the close.
Sensation hasn't really come back 100% on the left side of my chin. There are some, not much. That goes the same for the gums on the same quadrant.
I dreamt last night my braces were off!!.. but the teeth were coming apart. Whatever does that mean.. Old folks belief would say..i'm in for some good luck. :)
Oh, my bite opens up to about 370mm. A few more mm's to go...
