I can grimace showing my bottom teeth now. I can smile and my smile looks more natural instead of forced now. I can feel my lips better but I still have to be cautious about hot liquids. I have burnt my lip a couple times.
Also I can open my mouth thiiis big, just over a fingers width. Frustrating, but good progress. I can put a big spoon in my mouth, and when I'm using one to make smoothies I cant really lick it, and my guy is laughing as I'm chasing ice cream around with my mouth. I couldn't get a lil piece of cake in my mouth the other day and I just made a mess everywhere. I don't need a bib anymore, but i need like a paper towel whenever I eat. sometimes I just hold it under my chin.
Its a little tough getting back into the swing of things. I work commission, and I've got a very understanding client, but I still have a project or two I should get back on. Its hard to get up and go on it tho. Reminds me of when I had mono.
P.S. I am sick of mush foods, I've been eating kinda unhealthy (see ice cream 2x day), and taking it pretty cautious cause I have a stupid amount of allergies. I'm going to the store now to buy some root vegetables, squash, edamame, and eggs n curry. mmm curry eggs. I'm just craving some broccoli stems right now.
P.P.S. I still don't sleep well. Its hard to find a position that doesnt lean on my face too much, (I sleep on my side) and I wake up in a enough pain to have to take an ibuprofen almost every morning. bleh :( I'm a bit of a grump when I wake up. Not much fun.
Jacquie! Josef suggests that you place two large fluffy pillows on either side of your head and lay on your back for a while until you feel sleepy, then gently tend towards whatever side feels natural. It was very strange and difficult at first, but I found it helped quite a bit! :D
