There hasn't been much new at all, which is why I waited until I had another appointment to update. I saw my surgeon yesterday, and he finally took my splint out, yay! It was connected to my teeth by all sorts of screws and wires. A lot of them were digging into my gums, so not only is it much less annoying to have it in, but also much less painful! As far as splints go though, I'm not totally out of the woods. He wanted me to keep the splint he took out in (without the extra wires), until my next ortho visit in a week, where they could fit me for a new splint. Normally it should pop back in and stay pretty well. Mine didn't stick at all, so I went straight from my surgeon's office to my orthodontist's office. There they fit me for a new splint that is supposed to be more comfortable. I didn't get there until the end of the day so they just did the impression, and then I can pick up and try the splint today.
My next visit with Dr. K, my surgeon, is in November! Can't believe I won't see him again for 3 months! But I guess Dr. W, my orthodontist, kinda takes over things for now.
I've been getting more feeling back in chin. It's always such a weird sensation.
I was soo tired yesterday and went to bed at 9 which is why I'm updating this morning. I will not be posting a pic for that reason!
