this process has been interesting to say the least --- the healing is going "as planned" i guess. right now we are in the process of fixing 'sore spots' as they arise. dwindling down the plastic as the gums and tissues heal and settle.
i'm not eating a wide variety of foods just yet -- still haven't been able to chew very much - but, at least i'm eating! i didn't eat anything for 2 1/2 days after surgery because i couldn't get it down. if it wasn't for the gag reflex, it was something else. my mouth felt like a tunnel - plastic everywhere. once the dentist adjusted some of that it made it alot easier.
surprisingly i haven't had alot of pain. mostly some discomfort as they settle and we figure it all out. for that - i'm grateful.
i've been told my appearance is very different from what it was -- i see the obvious, but at the same time it is hard for me -- i still feel swollen and puffy, and i'm still getting used to how my mouth "works" now. so i haven't taken any new pics just yet. i will. they will come in time. i'll post some here - along with the "before" pics - which, btw, i was looking at -- i took some the day before surgery. wow. of course there is a difference.
all in all -- things are going well. i don't regret my decision, and i'm in love with dr. k. -- she rocks! :)
i'll keep you posted! :)
